Abstract
We wanted to know what factors encourage a superintendent to stay in the job. By analyzing data from the national AASA 2010 State of the Superintendency Study, we were able to identify three factors that are particularly helpful if a board wants to retain its superintendent. The intention of this study was not for a board to eliminate turnover, because sometimes turnover is necessary, if, for example, a superintendent is not meeting expectations set by the board, or the superintendent acts unethically. Instead, we wanted to increase the potential of a school board to retain a superintendent they desire
