Abstract

This article explores potential links between school board member and superintendent turnover. Qualitative and quantitative data from 176 school districts in a Northwest state supported the use of the Dissatisfaction Theory as a useful tool in describingthe political sequence of events in local school governance and established the necessity of distinguishing between political versus apolitical school board member turnover in studies of this type.
