This article investigates the organization of the leading division of the board of education and the personnel and the duties of educational administrative staff members of the bureau of the board of education. This paper focuses on the case of Kyoto city which arranges experts on educational administration. My intention was to acquire new knowledge about the administrative staff members who have expertise in educational administration. The findings of this paper are follows. First, I confirmed the number of the general administrative staff members and educational administrative staff members, post arrangement, field of the duties from a point of view of making the arrangement of administrative staff members in the leading division of educational administration clear. I compared Kyoto city with an ordinance-designated city of the same scale as Kyoto city and three prefectures. Educational administrative staff members are appointed to the leading division in the cities other than Kyoto city and general administrative staff members are appointed to a limited division as general affairs manager. However, in Kyoto city personnel arrangement keeps trade with educational administrative members and general administrative staff members. This investigation revealed that general administrative staff members are in charge of various kinds of duties such as projects and administration of educational reform.

Second, I carried out an investigation by interviewing general administrative staff members of the board of education in Kyoto city who are appointed to the leading division. I found that establishing a relationship between general administrative staff members and educational administrative staff members is the key to confirming how the duties are actually accomplished. I proposed “expert on educational administration” as a new concept of the field of the duties. The advantage of having experts on educational administration is that they are enrolled in the bureau of the board of education for a long time and acquire expertise in educational administration whereas educational supervisors return to school. The difference between these positions has an enormous influence on the way of accomplishing the duties. I pointed out that experts on educational administration in Kyoto city coordinate the conflict between the sort of jobs of experts on educational administration and educational administrative staff members and come up with an idea of politics and a role of expert on educational administration to show that the innovative leadership is the driving force of educational reform in Kyoto city.

Last, I focus on general administrative staff members who are assigned to the board of education from the department of the head of the local government and the post and the field of the duties of experts on educational administration. An aim for further research is to acquire knowledge of the future personnel policy of educational administrative staff members.
