Book excerpt: The primary purpose of the study was to investigate perceptions of school board members and superintendents in the State of Iowa, assignment of leadership responsibilities in specific areas, and responsibility congruence and suitability. Demographic characteristics of gender, size of communities, size of school district, levels of education, occupation, and years of experience were also analyzed to identify relationships and determine what effects these characteristics had on perceptions of school leadership. After examining the literature it was evident that there are no universally accepted definitions of responsibilities for school board members or superintendents. It was determined that this investigation was needed in order to determine the inconsistencies of the two groups of school system leaders and to provide guidance for improved performance in public schools. Methodology used involved an assessment instrument, which was distributed to 364 school board members and 192 superintendents in the State of Iowa during the 1999-2000 school year. Useable returns were obtained from 50.8% of school board members and 71.3% of superintendents.

This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1987, Jacqueline Danzberger described school boards as the forgotten players. However, things have changed drastically for school boards over the past few years. No longer are school boards the forgotten players in school governance. Instead, school boards often find themselves in the center of controversies stemming from the intrusion of political partisanship into local governance structures which historically, and for the purposes of sustained democratic educational governance, were intentionally intended to be non-partisan elected boards. However, this is where many school boards find themselves today. The chapters in this volume address several key questions school board members are currently facing as they struggle to protect some of our country’s earliest guardrails of democracy; local control of schools. To be sure, school boards are no longer the forgotten players. Implications of this may be wide reaching and therefore deserve room in the current literature on educational governance. Volume II of the Research on the Superintendency series highlights recent research on school boards, local control, governance, and the superintendency. Each chapter is briefly described and the chapters are in a particular order that readers may wish to pay attention to as they enjoy the book. The first three chapters deal with local control in both rural and urban settings. The next two chapters are studies focused mainly on school boards and how their roles have shifted over the years followed by a chapter on the relationship between school boards and their superintendents within a regulatory environment and the level of stress it can bring to board members and superintendents. The final five chapters describe recent superintendent research that is closely linked to school governance or school board policies. We ask readers to juxtapose lessons learned in those five chapters to the role of school boards within the context of those chapters.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was developed to investigate school board presidents' perspectives of the changing role of the superintendent. Thirty-one presidents of public schools located in 8 southeastern Pennsylvania counties participated in an online survey consisting of multiple-choice, Likert-scale, and open-ended questions. The questions collected data on board presidents' perspectives about the role of the superintendent and how it is changing, perspectives about leadership skills necessary for effective district leadership and how the importance of various skills might be changing, and perspectives regarding changes in communication patterns between the board and the superintendent. Nine board presidents also participated in a follow-up interview consisting of 8 related questions. Results indicate that participating board presidents perceive the role of the superintendent to be increasing in complexity, especially in the areas of school finance, communication with stakeholders, and academic achievement. Furthermore, results suggest that participating board presidents consider effective communication and financial management as increasingly important skills for successful district leadership. Finally, results indicate that in the represented districts, communication between the superintendent and the board has become more frequent and detailed, and that the communication is often presented in electronic formats. These findings offer direction for prospective superintendents as they seek to develop effective leadership skills, for board presidents as they support the work of the superintendents, and for current superintendents as they seek ways to grow and develop their professional skills.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to provide practicing and aspiring superintendents and school board presidents with insights into the various leadership frameworks that superintendents and school board presidents utilize to lead and govern a school district. In this study, the researcher identified the dominant leadership frames based on the self-perceptions of the superintendents and school board presidents of Texas public schools. A quantitative approach was used in this study in determining the correlation among superintendents and school board presidents’ leadership frames using Bolman and Deal’s (1993) Leadership Orientation Survey–Self instrument. School superintendents and school board presidents in Texas public schools are leaders of their school districts. The job performance of both is informed by the leadership styles each embraces. It is imperative that school superintendents and school board presidents possess multiple skills in working with the various personalities within the school district. Therefore, both should develop a collaborative leadership style while also surrounding themselves with quality individuals that are knowledgeable in specific areas, and consistently communicate the vision. Further, school superintendents and school board presidents must buy into the mission of their school district and advocate for all students.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose. Using previous research (Deal & Peterson; 1994; Smith, 1996) as a conceptual framework, this study examined the leadership orientations of district superintendents in a mid-western state. The investigation explored two types of leadership orientations: technical and symbolic leadership. District superintendents as well as their board-president were asked to assess the leadership orientation of the district superintendent. Also, this study analyzed the relationship of the superintendents' leadership orientation with their annual evaluation. Superintendents' evaluations were utilized to explore whether or not the leadership orientation of the superintendent influenced the level of a school board's satisfaction as expressed by the annual evaluation. Leadership orientations were analyzed in relationship to various personal, professional, and district demographic variables in order to provide an understanding of how different leadership orientations were perceived by the school board presidents in particular demographic areas. This study will provide a better understanding of the two types of leadership orientations discussed and how these orientations have an influence on the perceptions of board presidents. Procedures. Two hundred and sixty-two public school superintendents were selected to participate in the study. Three survey instruments were used to analyze leadership orientation and the district superintendent's personal, professional, and district demographics. Quantitative research methods were used to provide information on superintendent and school board president's perceptions of the superintendent's leadership orientation. The superintendent's annual formal evaluation was explored with the perceived leadership orientation. Findings. The findings of this study revealed that superintendents perceived themselves as being symbolic in their leadership, whereas school board presidents' perceptions indicated the superintendents were more technical in their leadership orientation. Yet, school board presidents expressed more satisfaction with the symbolic leadership orientation than technical orientation they perceived their superintendents to have exhibited. Therefore, the findings of this study suggested that school board presidents revealed a preference in symbolic leadership orientation in their superintendents' performance to influence and create satisfaction.
