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 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the role of the superintendent as it is perceived by school administrators and school board presidents. The study was limited to public schools in Texas located within Region 20 ESC. Responses to a Likert-type instrument were solicited from school board presidents, superintendents and other school administrators (n=163). The questionnaire generated data regarding perceptions toward the role of the superintendent in nine different domains containing 38 different criteria. Results from an ANOVA showed no significant difference at the alpha level of .05. Sidak post-hoc tests were run as well, but because the ANOVA did not reveal any significant difference, the post-hoc data was not presented. The primary conclusion drawn from this study was that the perceived conflict in the literature that exists between boards and superintendents that is prevalent enough to cause a superintendent to leave a district, was not brought to light in this study. Board presidents, superintendents and other school administrators all appear to have the same perceptions regarding the role of the superintendent. This questionnaire did not reveal the source of conflict. However, the data revealed that board presidents, superintendents and other school administrators see the superintendent's role in the same way. The findings from this research may indicate that as a result of extensive board training, there may be improved respect and communication between the board, superintendents, and other school administrators. Recommendations include, among others: 1. Research into the development of an instrument that examines a more reflective relationship between the board and superintendent dealing with the aspects of personality, character, prejudices and attitudes. 2. Through the legal process, to increase the length of a term for board members from the current three-year term to at least five years. 3. Through the legal process, modify the Open Meetings Act to allow boards the freedom to conduct self-evaluations and "board performance" issues behind closed doors. This would eliminate the perception of the board "airing dirty laundry" in public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose of the study. The purpose of this study was to determine the perceived level of authority for leadership responsibilities being performed by school boards and superintendents in Missouri public schools. A common list of responsibilities throughout the state for each of the groups could lessen the opportunity for conflict and lead to more effective schools. Methodology. The population for this study were 448 public school districts in the state of Missouri. School districts excluded from this study were the 79 elementary (K-8) districts in Missouri and the Special School District St. Louis County, St. Louis City School District, and the Kansas City 33 School District. The sample consisted of 210 school districts selected from the population, with school board presidents and superintendents as units of measure. Survey instruments were designed to collect information concerning the level of authority for leadership responsibilities both school board members and superintendents actually have, and the level of authority for leadership responsibilities school board members and superintendents believed they ideally should have. All data collected were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis. Three hypotheses were developed for testing. Findings. The following statements briefly describe the status of board members' and superintendents' perceptions on authority of leadership responsibilities. Significant difference was found between the actual level of authority and the ideal level of authority which board presidents and superintendents believed should exist for each group. Significant difference was found between board presidents and superintendents concerning the level of authority which each group ideally should possess. Though both groups indicated that more authority should be directed to the superintendent's position, board presidents chose a lower level than that of the 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 2019 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study sought to examine the perceptions of superintendents and school board presidents related to the effectiveness of the superintendent evaluation process utilized in their school districts. In addition, this study asked superintendents and school board presidents to rank leadership functions derived from the Pennsylvania Leadership Standards in order to evaluate the degree of alignment between the two. Data for this study were collected through instruments designed by the researcher including an online survey and semi-structured interview. A total of 111 survey responses from superintendents and school board presidents in the state of Pennsylvania were analyzed in order to answer the research questions. Eight survey respondents agreed to participate in the follow-up interview. The findings of this study indicate that superintendents and school board presidents perceived the evaluation process to be effective in holding the superintendent accountable and promoting the professional growth of the superintendent. Further, superintendents and school board presidents generally perceived the superintendent evaluation process to be reflective of best practices. The findings related to the ranking of leadership functions demonstrated that superintendents and school board presidents prioritized certain leadership functions more consistently than others, especially when examined in the context of district size, which highlights the importance of collaboration and communication in implementing the superintendent evaluation process.
