Two Superintendents, One Home

School Administrator, March, 2000 by Priscilla Pardini

The School Administrator has attempted to compile a complete nationwide list of current school district superintendents who are related by marriage or birth.

They are listed below alphabetically in three categories: spouses, brothers and fathers and sons. We did not uncover any mother-child, father-daughter or sister-sister superintendencies.

Please let us know (magazine@aasa.org) if you are aware of anyone we may have overlooked.
