The Superintendent as a Temp.

Clark, Robert J.

School Administrator, v58 n4 p40-41 Apr 2001

Superintendents' lack of longevity mirrors society's quick-fix mentality. Superintendents acquire reputations (as money wizards or bond passers) and move to other districts requiring that expertise. However, superintendents need to be more than one-dimensional leaders, and school board members must become savvier about educational politics. (MLH)
