Abstract

I examined the expected roles or "hats" of the rural superintendent by collecting data from several districts located in NE Colorado. Interviews of school board members and superintendents provided data which suggested that the expected roles of a rural superintendent are multiple and varied. This study suggests that there are perceived differences in the community expectations for rural superintendents when compared to expectations for urban or suburban districts.
