This paper reports the findings of a 1975 survey of Louisiana school superintendents that was intended to develop a data profile of the typical Louisiana superintendent. Fifty-eight of the 66 Louisiana superintendents completed and returned the survey questionnaire. Survey responses are discussed and compared with data from a 1969 national survey of superintendents conducted by the American Association of School Administrators, a 1968 Louisiana study, a 1969 Mississippi study, and two Arkansas studies conducted in 1971 and 1973. The appendix presents an item-by-item report of responses to the 1975 survey questionnaire and summarizes data on college degrees held by Louisiana superintendents. (JG)
