Abstract | This article examines high superintendency turnover through rural community members' perceptions of such attrition in their districts. Findings indicate that community members perceived high turnover as negative and believed that turnover was created by financial pressures, rural community resistance to educational trends, and bias against minorities and/or "outsiders." Interestingly, most community members talked about superintendent turnover as "just the way things are around here," attributing high turnover to what they considered external financial conditions (the superintendents' low salary and the state funding sources) and unwittingly putting themselves in a position of helplessness, or as victims, even when they controlled the amount of salary that they offered candidates. (As Provided). |
