The summary of a round-table discussion and survey to determine the reality of administrator shortage in the school districts is the purpose of this report. Thirty-eight out of 45 mailed questionnaires to 41 district superintendents and 4 search consultants were completed. Findings of the round-table discussion and survey suggest that trends in teacher employment affect the administrative employment market. The number of well qualified administrative candidates for all administrative positions has decreased in recent years. The findings call into question such concerns as candidate preparation, attractiveness and salary of administrative positions, and professional work environment. However, these issues cannot be addressed without further study. A list of Leadership in Educational Administration Development (LEAD) Center advisory board members is included. (LMI)
