Abstract	This study attempts to describe and assess the current state of selection and promotion systems for administrators in Ontario school boards and to develop an information base for parties involved with these procedures. The project also seeks to identify high quality procedures and ensure the elimination of bias and subjectivity in personnel decisions. Data collection involved three phases: (1) collecting all selection and promotion policies from Ontario school boards, (2) administering a survey questionnaire to teachers and administrators, and (3) developing two case studies with model systems of high quality procedures. Survey results showed similarities in the appointment process regarding collection of candidate information and criteria considered most important (interpersonal skills, knowledge of the position, appropriate educational philosophy, and management and decision-making skills) for administrative positions. The ideal model stresses validity and reliability in information usage and practicality and efficiency in the use of human resources; it recognizes the unique political, historical, and cultural aspects of particular school boards. Several recommendations to improve personnel policies and procedures are offered. Basic guidelines emphasize sound communication, training programs, and proactive recruitment strategies for obtaining qualified women candidates. (MLH)
