Search Consultants: Boon or Bane to Non-Traditional Candidates for the Superintendency?

Chion-Kenney, Linda

School Administrator, v51 n2 p8-9,12-15,17-18 Feb 1994

Women and minorities are still underrepresented in the superintendency. Search consultants can tackle discrimination by helping a school board consider desirable administrator competencies and personality traits and by advancing outstanding "nontraditional" candidates. Candidates should take consultants' advice about networking, resume preparation, and required experience. Sidebars feature successful minority women candidates and searching advice. (MLH)
