Educational Research Service, Arlington, VA.
This document presents findings of a study that investigated the roles and functions of school-personnel administrators in the United States and Canada. Surveys were mailed to four groups--Canadian school district superintendents, county office of education superintendents, superintendents of educational service agencies, and American school district superintendents. A total of 1,028 usable responses was received. Data are presented on the following areas: (1) the relationship between school district size and the presence of a personnel officer; (2) the degree of superintendents' responsibility for school district functions; (3) newly assigned functions; (4) factors affecting operation of the personnel function; (5) profiles of school districts and personnel-related operations; and (6) personnel officer characteristics. Twenty-five sample organizational charts, 10 figures, and 24 tables are included. (LMI)
