SUPERINTENDENT'S TENURE OF OFFICE IN NINE KOSSUTH COUNTY SCHOOLS - There is much criticism of all public or semi-public offices at the present timeg Any governmental function support eel in whole or in. part by public taxes is subject-d to such co .merits. One of the reasons for having less efficient governmental functions than would be commonly found in private business is the relatively short tenure of office in many of those functions. The public schools in many cases have not served the communities in which they are located as well or as efficiently as they should because of the shortness of the tenure of office of the teachers or the supervisory or administrative heads of those schools. Private business would not demand new blood every year or every other year as many of the schools do. We believe that the tenure of some of our schools has been increasing during the last decade and this iamo be regarded as a hopeful sign. On the other hand when the history of the school over a period of thirty-five or forty y ars shows an average tenure of from one to two year’s the conclusion may ri ht fully be drawn that there is need for a more complete under- standing of the problems involved in training young people and giving them the greatest opportunity that the com unity can afford. It is an evident fact that the best possible school cannot be maintained if the head of the school is changed every other year on the average. Plow can there be efficiency of organisation, con tinuity of effort and long-time planning if the school org nizaticn is remodeled at least once each t..;o years on the average? It is a hopeful sign that the tenure is slowly i: creasing in every school which has been checked during the last throe years. c RJPSRI IN NI O r c r :TEN JENT' s NS KOSSUTH 1892 - j- » h TENURE OF OFFICE COUNTY SCHOOLS 1933 i v s-° : ys V- V ° e A V Number of Years No . of Supts. ho. with One Year Tenure 42 . 12 1 2 42 21. 7 32 1 10 4 38 39 20 7 20 11 8 29 12 „ 6 42 16‘. 3 42 21 10 42 ; 2 o 14 No with Two Year Tenure 3 10 Z 6 2 5 4 1 No,with Three Year Tenure 2 i 1 4 5 2 4 3 No. with Four Year Tenure 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 3 0 No. with Five Year Tenure 1 l 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 No. with More Than Five Year Tenurd 2 l 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 Average Tenure In Years 3.4 2.0 3.2 . 1.9 1.95 2.41 2,62 2.00 2.10 - 8 -
