Repeat Your Career Choice?

State of the Superintendency

Would superintendents make the same career decision if given an opportunity to retrace their steps?

In AASA’s 2010 decennial survey of superintendents nationwide, just under two-thirds (63 percent) said they again would definitely opt to be a superintendent. In the newly completed 2020 decennial study, 51 percent selected that response.

The percentage of those indicating they probably or definitely would not choose to be a superintendent increased from 5 percent to 9.5 percent over the 10 years.
