This study leverages the theories of racialized and gendered organizations as frameworks to examine a Southeastern school district's aspiring leadership program and hiring practices to determine the extent to which they produce and reproduce gender and race-based norms that promote workplace exclusion for women and people of color interested in the school principalship. Data were obtained from interviews with district administrators, school administrators, and teachers (n = 12). Findings provide support that the district operates in a manner consistent with a racialized and gendered organization. Results are discussed, and implications for improvement are provided.
