The Promise of Title IX: Longitudinal Study of Gender in Urban School Administration, 1972 to 2002
Mertz, Norma T.
Urban Education, v41 n6 p544-559 2006
Using statistical data collected during a 30-year period, the article reports on the significant movement of females into all of the line administrative positions in the largest school districts in the country (by student population) since the passage of Title IX with one notable exception, that of superintendent. The position of superintendent remains, as it was in 1972, overwhelmingly male. In terms of the promise of Title IX to redress gender inequity in school administration, it would appear to have been successful save for that one persistent, resistant, powerful top spot. (Contains 4 tables and 1 figure.)
