This study was designed to contribute to the body of educational literature in regards to gender differences faced by school superintendents in regards to compensation, promotion track and performance evaluation. The first research question, explored the possibility of continued issues with the gender pay gap for superintendents. The second research question explored the career path of superintendents examining the gender specific paths of women through the elementary principalship and men through the secondary principalship. The third research question explored the role of performance evaluations for school superintendents. A survey developed in 2004 by Montz to study women superintendents was administered to a stratified random sample of female and male superintendents across Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. Demographic variables of age, race, marital status, education, district typology and salary were collected. Results were analyzed using SPSS Version 20 to compute descriptive and inferential statistics. Significant findings and implications for educational leaders were discussed. 2012 English text Youngstown State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ysu1365075091 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ysu1365075091 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
