The possibility that the general public does not support women being school administrators is explored by reviewing the results of earlier studies and reporting the results of a survey of adults in Oregon. The vast majority of a sample of 824 adults approve of women being school administrators. The younger and higher status respondents are more likely to be supportive, as are the respondents who have children in school or have known a woman administrator. Home owners are slightly less supportive, although a majority of them still favor women in administration. There are no differences in the support of people with different political affiliations or likelihood to vote. The respondents are more likely to approve of women being elementary principals than their being secondary principals or school superintendents. It is suggested that school officials, members of school boards, and school administrators have overestimated the amount of public resistence to women assuming school administration posts and that the public in both Oregon and other states is indeed ready to approve women entering school administration.
