Limited empirical research exists regarding the modern-day responsibilities of central office administrators. The purpose of the current case study was to provide further insight into perceptions of central office administrators and campus stakeholders regarding the collaboration that occurs to implement districtwide initiatives. The researcher sought to understand the perceptions of both sample groups by conducting in-depth interviews with central office administrators and gathering questionnaire data with campus stakeholders. The data collected from the in-depth interviews was entered into the Dedoose platform, and the questionnaire data was entered in frequency tables. A thematic analysis revealed perceptions unique to both sample groups. In the current study, the concept of communication was perceived from two different vantage points. Central office administrators perceived communication as an interpersonal tool, while campus stakeholders perceived communication as a formal tool. Finally, the misalignment of perspectives macro versus micro created a natural tension in the interpersonal dynamics. The findings of this study highlight four key implications: (a) confirms the changing roles and responsibilities of central office administrators, (b) confirms that collaboration is complex, (c) confirms that communication at the organizational level must be purposeful, and (d) highlights how external barriers, such as social disruptions, impact the perceptions of those involved.
