Hanson, Linda – Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education, 2006
Superintendents often mourn the "good old days" when they were educators and did not need to worry about the managerial and political aspects of their districts.

Kelleher, Paul – Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education, 2006
The Sunnyside Independent School District Board of Education selected Dr. Juan Martinez (pseudonym) as its new superintendent of schools by an unusually cohesive 7-0 vote in 2002.

Anderson, James D. – Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education, 2006

Board of Education" commands such "awe and respect" in a nation where racial and ethnic groups remain separate and unequal in its public schools.
