It is well documented that the demands on school superintendents have not only become more taxing but have also changed in recent years. The superintendent needs to possess a high degree of knowledge and skills in a diverse number of areas, including psychology, finances, personnel, and general education while functioning at a very high level in managing school boards, parenting, transportation, counseling, workmen compensation, school law, special education, facilities, maintenance, taxes, politics, athletics, extracurricular activities, energy conservation, risk management (Clark 2010) and, most importantly, teaching and learning.
