State of the Superintendency
Problems at the Top
School Administrator, December 2017
A mid-decade study of the superintendency asked respondents to identify the leading problems they were facing in the position.
Ranking highest, in order, were inadequate funding, job stress and time demands. Little significant variation was in evidence when their responses were arrayed by their districts’ student enrollment.
Looming in the background is dissatisfaction with the imposition of federal regulations and requirements.
