Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local school boards have the responsibility to select school superintendents to lead their districts. The process by which school boards go about searching for and selecting a superintendent varies. In Missouri, school boards have the option to hire a search firm (MSBA, MASA, MSSC, etc.) or other outside assistance, or they can choose to search for and select a superintendent on their own. This study was conducted to establish how superintendent search and selection procedures were being utilized in the state of Missouri. The study also attempted to distinguish between Missouri school boards that utilize superintendent search firms or conducted a search on their own and whether the boards were satisfied with their selection. The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze current superintendent search and selection practices utilized by public school boards and their perceived effectiveness in the state of Missouri. The study examined superintendent search criteria and attempted to determine what impact school district enrollment, school district location, school district wealth, superintendent gender, superintendent turnover rate and superintendents possessing a doctorate had on the superintendent selection process. The study also attempted to show how school board members perceptions differed according to school district enrollment, school district location, school district wealth, superintendent gender, superintendent turnover rate and superintendents possessing a doctoral degree as related to superintendent search criteria. This study found that the majority of school board respondents in Missouri selected their superintendent as opposed to hiring a search firm to complete the search and selection process. An overwhelming majority of school board member respondents who conducted their own searches believed their search and selection procedures were effective. Those boards that utilized search firms were also satisfied with the results of the search/selection process. Findings also suggest the variables of school district enrollment, location, school district wealth, superintendent turnover rate, superintendent gender, and superintendents possessing a doctoral degree when coupled with de-selection criteria and knowledge and skills used in the selection process had varying degrees of impact on the superintendent search and selection process. This study may have implications for practitioners in the state of Missouri and elsewhere regarding future superintendent search and selection practices and their effectiveness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose of the study . The purpose of this study was to examine current superintendent evaluation practices in the State of Missouri. Superintendents' perceptions in regard to the purpose of those evaluation systems, if those evaluation systems are effective in relation to the prescribed purpose, the perceived quality, and the impact on superintendent performance were explored as well. Study design . Superintendents in 386 of the 524 public school districts across the state of Missouri responded to the survey. The survey consisted of 36 questions broken down into demographic items, evaluation process, and superintendent perceptions about performance evaluation. The survey sought to answer seven research questions and to test three null hypotheses. The hypotheses were tested using Pearson product-moment coefficient of correlation. Findings . The findings of most interest from this study were: (a) 81.3% of superintendents were over the age of 45, (b) 87.2% of districts use a formal process for superintendent evaluation, (c) 77.8% of school boards did not formally observe the superintendent during school hours, (d) 89.0% of superintendents reported they had two or fewer conferences with the board about performance as a result of observations by the board, (e) 75.2% of superintendents reported that they received a summative evaluation report, (f) 72.6% of superintendents reported that a conference was held to discuss the summative evaluation report, (g) 74.2 percent of superintendents reported that they view the evaluation process as being positive, (h) 72.6% reported that the process used in their district was fair, (i) accountability of the superintendent was reported as the main purpose for evaluation, and (j) the district's reported use of Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education guidelines and procedures for superintendent evaluation correlated with the perceived quality and overall impact of the evaluation process as reported by superintendents. Conclusions . From this study, it is evident that many of the state's superintendents will be eligible for retirement over the next few years. There will be a need in future years for individuals to move into the superintendency to replace those that are retiring. The preparation phase is an important component in the superintendent evaluation process, and from this study it is evident that many boards and superintendents do not adequately prepare for the evaluation process. The majority of school districts use a formal process for superintendent evaluation. However, the study also revealed that there are several sources of procedures, practices and processes used for superintendent evaluation. The formative phase is another important component of the superintendent evaluation process. From this study, it was evident that most school boards and superintendents do not adequately complete this phase of superintendent evaluation. The presence of a summative component, including a summative form and a summative conference, is an important component of the superintendent evaluation process. From this study, it was evident that most school boards and superintendents are doing a much better job at this phase of superintendent evaluation.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most important responsibility of any Board of Education is the selection of its Superintendent of Schools. The Council of the Great City Schools compiled this document to assist its member school boards in beginning the search for a new superintendent. Many models exist for conducting a search in urban schools: a basic and generic one is presented in this document, with text arranged in a question-and-answer format for ease of use. Considerations discussed include: (1) Starting the search for a new superintendent; (2) Deciding to use and locating a search firm; (3) Not using a search firm; (4) Specific services of a search firm or consultant; (5) Defining candidate characteristics; (6) Process to evaluate, screen, and select finalists; (7) Use of an external Advisory Committee and defining its role; (8) Appropriate roles and responsibilities of the involved parties; (9) Finding candidates; (10) Attracting "nontraditional" candidates; (11) Cost of a typical superintendent search; (12) Typical timeline for selecting a superintendent; (13) Major search firms across the country; and (14) Search firms recently used by other major cities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local school boards have the responsibility to select school superintendents to lead their districts. The process by which school boards go about searching for and selecting a superintendent varies. In Wisconsin, school boards have the option to hire a search firm or other outside assistance, or they can choose to search for and select a superintendent on their own (Wisconsin Association of School Boards, 2010). School districts in Wisconsin currently utilize all of these options. Little data exists in analyzing the search and selection processes of a superintendent after the superintendent has been employed in the district and the match it provided. The purpose of this study was to provide public school districts in Wisconsin guidance in choosing a search and selection process which provides the best match between a school district and a superintendent. This study was important as it examined and interpreted processes to replace superintendents and the success factors associated with these processes in Wisconsin.
