Leadership turnover in America's largest school districts has
increased so rapidly that the average urban superintendent tenure
is roughly 2 years. Because many urban superintendents are hired
knowing that they will either be terminated or forced to resign in
a short period of time, this cycle has created a class of
superintendents who leap around the country from job to job, with
no real ties to the communities they serve. So why are big-city
superintendents seemingly always on the hot seat? Urban
superintendents regularly face vast academic, funding, and
socioeconomic challenges, and school boards find it much easier to
change the coach than to change the players. Turnover at the Top
examines various reasons for this frequent turnover, as well and
its ramifications. It includes first-hand accounts from parents,
school board members, and urban superintendents and will be of
great interest to administrators, elected officials, and
superintendents.
