This article deals with the moral dimension of the decisional process of eleven directors general and twelve school board commissioners in the province of Quebec. The two groups of actors occupy two distinct spheres, that is, the administrative sphere and the political sphere of school establishments. Despite this distinction, these two authorities work together with the aim of ensuring the smooth operation of the educational mission. This article is the fruit of a research project that began in the winter of 2001 and was subsidized by an institutional fund. To analyse the moral dimension of the decisional process, we used a multidimensional ethics framework (Starratt (1991)). This framework was modified during the course of our previous research in order to make it more operational (Langlois (2000)). The results of this study demonstrate that several bonds unite the two groups but certain tensions remain, sometimes creating obstacles to the smooth running of the organization. During deliberations, it was possible to call attention to the presence of ethical approaches for the directors general and the commissioners. Although the title of this article may imply that there is a certain danger that persists between the two groups, the results demonstrated instead that the danger resides within the board of commissioners itself. Reading our results will allow the justification of this observation.
