A study of procedures used in meeting administrative problems in the schools of Texas with 2000 to 6500 in average daily attendance

An investigation was made to secure information on two related questions: (1) What, in general, are the problems of administrative nature that the superintendent of middle size school systems have to meet? (2) What procedures seem to be successful in meeting these administrative problems? A pilot study was developed using fifteen school superintendents from schools ranging from 2000 students in average daily attendance to schools with 6500 students in average daily attendance. The superintendent participation in the pilot study furnished a listing of major problems that they were meeting. Seventy-nine school systems of the middle size class were invited to participate in the study of the successful procedures in meeting administrative problems.
