Principal Terminations in the Rural Midwest: Implications for Professional Development.
Waddle, Jerry L.; Buchanan, Robert D.
Rural Educator, v24 n2 p23-30 Win 2002
A study examining principal termination surveyed 372 Missouri school superintendents, most from rural districts. The most frequent reason for principal termination was inability to communicate effectively and collaborate with school and community members. Most dismissals resulted from administrative recommendations, 28 percent resulted from board decisions overturning superintendent recommendations. Implications for research and principal training are discussed. (TD)
