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 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.

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.
