Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the motivations of females aspiring to school superintendency positions in Texas. We report on a reanalysis of data from two previous studies and how the findings build an understanding of previously documented obstacles and barriers female candidates encounter in their journey toward the superintendency. This reanalysis was done to assist us in developing research protocols to be used in a statewide study of female central office administrators and their aspirations to the superintendency.
