“…This is due not only to the fact that knowledge and know-how have assumed the status of "strategic resources for economic as well as regional and local development" (Ball 2009;Morgan 1997).

Abstract. When we speak about the role of infrastructure in networks, traffi c corridors or internet might come to our minds. Nevertheless, a school is also a crucial element within local and regional infrastructure, through which many networks are created and reproduced. Moreover, the principle of a school in a network of relationships could be perceived from several different points of view, such as: 1) a school as a part of the educational system, interactions between institutions; 2) a school network in an area unit, its character and connections to other characteristics of the region; 3) the relationships between a school and its local/regional community, including children, parents or representatives of the municipality. Although geography has a lot to say regarding these issues, we fi nd few articles dealing with geography of education, both in Czechia and throughout the world. Therefore, the aim of our contribution is to discuss the position of school within the types of networks mentioned, as an institution, which teaches individuals to act while simultaneously acting in its environment as well. Emphasis is placed on elementary schools and examples of research topics are presented.

“…Such knowledge workers may popularize rather than necessarily do primary research, they package, communicate and affirm what has become known as «best practice» because it «works». Influential knowledge workers impact through their financial and social status whereby they «corporatize» (Saltman, 2010, p. 79) leadership either through individual philanthropy or through major consultancy companies (see Ball, 2010 The outcome of this is that:…”
