The purpose of this phenomenological, qualitative study was to investigate how district leaders' support is perceived by district pupil personnel service (PPS) leaders in the areas of ethical leadership, district policies and practices for special education programs, and how that may contribute to a culture of inclusivity. One on one interviews were conducted with 14 system leaders for PPS in three Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) regions in New York State. The overall findings provide details about an inclusive culture within each district; policies and practices that support a culture of ongoing professional learning for PPS leaders, principals, and instructional staff; insight about the ethical beliefs and actions of district leaders; providing opportunities for mentoring and collaboration for PPS leaders; and finally, knowledge about the ethical beliefs and actions of district leaders in providing access to human, time, and material resources for special education programs. Several recommendations came from this research. There were two recommendations for policy and three recommendations for practice. Recommendations for policy includes the focus of local boards of education to adopt explicit goals, language and implementation of elements of inclusivity and specific policies regarding DEI practices as it pertains to special education programs. Recommendations for practice encourage inclusivity for students, staff, administration and families through intentional approaches for district initiatives such as an intentional professional development plan and collaborative budget planning, where all leaders are involved in the strategic planning. All of the above needs to be led by the superintendent and other district leaders which exposes the commitment to understand the practices that are currently happening within the district in regard to special education and general education programming for all students and staff.
