Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the perceived barriers and strategies held by Black, Hispanic, and White women with regard to the position of school superintendent. This study will include a review of data collected from the Questionnaire on Perceptions of Barriers and Strategies Impacting on Women Securing the Superintendency from a purposeful sample of active Black, Hispanic, and White female superintendents from Southern states and Southwestern states in the U.S. A purposeful sample of active Black, Hispanic, and White female superintendents from Southern states and Southwestern states in the U.S. were interviewed in an attempt to provide a more in-depth understanding of the factors affecting Black, Hispanic, and White females in attaining the superintendency. Quantitative data were analyzed using frequencies, percentage, and a one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), while an inductive coding process was used to analyze the collected qualitative data. Quantitative analysis demonstrated that there was not a significant mean difference with regard to perceived barriers and strategies among the three groups. The qualitative analysis supported evidence from current research related to the topic that barriers do exist to the superintendency and strategies can be employed to attain the superintendency.
