Been thinking a lot about the desperate need for gender parity in our K-12 school leadership this morning. Found this data.

https://aasa.org/schooladministratorarticle.aspx?id=14492#:~:text=Of%20our%20nation's%2013%2C728%20superintendents,the%20U.S.%20Department%20of%20Education.
"Of our nation’s 13,728 superintendents, 1,984 today are women. Yet 72 percent of all K-12 educators in this country are women, according to the U.S. Department of Education."

That's 14% y'all.
If you are a teacher and you want and need to keep teaching, or you want and need to leave teaching, you do what you need to do. But if there's a voice in your head thinking about becoming a superintendent, I can say that you would be great, and we really need you.
