- Abstract
Women remain underrepresented in the position of school superintendent with only modest growth noted in recent years. One finding for lack of female superintendents is that tile barriers faced arc insurmountable. While barriers are well documented, it is important to learn whether or not female perception of barriers experienced has changed over time. In 1993 female subscribers to a professional job listing service were surveyed regarding the barriers that kept them from securing a superintendency. In April 2007, this 14-year-old study was replicated by the original researchers. Although perceived barriers remained the same, findings indicated that the importance respondents placed on certain barriers has changed during the 14-year interval.
