In the Spring of 2020, the world was brought to an abrupt halt due to a widespread pandemic called the Coronavirus, also named COVID-19. Everyone across the globe was encouraged to remain in their homes and quarantine because the Center for Disease Control believed that would slow the spread of the highly contagious virus. Schools had to immediately shut down and children were receiving their academic instruction from home. School leaders had to pivot their leadership capabilities from a traditional brick-and-mortar learning environment to a virtual environment. All contact with their staff and students was through a computer monitor or visual application on a mobile device. This study looked at school leaders' ability to make an immediate shift to a virtual environment and the impact of specific attributes of technology knowledge and usage, as well as propensity towards innovative leadership to measure transition effectiveness. A Google Form survey was sent via email to all school leaders in the twenty regions across the state of Texas. To participate, respondents must have been a school leader during the two school years of 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. The key findings were that there was a direct link to technology skills and how well school leaders supported their staff. It was also discovered that schools that received Title I funds reported a lower level of staff support of the students than schools that did not receive Title I funds. School location type was another variable used to measure transition effectiveness. There was no significant difference in level of support or technology knowledge and usage between schools in rural, suburban, or urban areas. As a result, the implications are that technology knowledge and usage is important and more professional development should be offered to school leaders so they can be a better support system for their school campus and all its stakeholders.
