Five years after the pandemic, superintendent turnover in the nation’s top 500 districts hasn’t settled down.
Leadership changed hands in 114 of those districts — 23% — within the past year, a jump from 20% the year before, according to data, shared exclusively with The 74, by the Superintendent Research Project from ILO Group, a consulting firm. The project — the only current publicly available resource on leadership turnover in the 500 largest districts — listed about 15% of districts replacing their superintendents prior to the pandemic.
