Download or read book The Interim Superintendent written by Michael James Mugits and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative multi-site case study examined the role and impact of interim school superintendents during the search and selection process of successor superintendents in four upstate New York State school disctricts. The districts spread across three different Board of Cooperative Education Service regions. The study employed one-on-one interviews of fourty-three participants to solicit their perspectives on the meaning and purpose, impact, and leadership style of the interim superintendents. The participants were categorized in three seperate groups according to the perceived relationship and interaction their work role had with the office of superintendent. Three distinct frames emerged regarding the work of interims: a) People; b) Path; and, c)Practice. Findings indicate that the prevailing view of the interim is one who actively shepherds the district along a path through the transition between permanent superintendents by resolving existing issues of competing interests, managing day-to-day responsiblities, and readying the district for the successor superintendent. Furthermore, each of the four interim superintendents left the district in an improved state when compared to the state of the system they had inherited upon their arrival. Additionally, the school board members did not harbor any interest in the interim simply maintaining the status quo of the district. Finally, the interims reported an absence of any direct involvement with the school board in the search and selection process for the successor superintendent.
