Since the turn of the century, public school superintendents have often exhibited less of their superintendent-scholar persona as they administer ever-increasing expenditures in educational programs. As a survival tactic, the more pragmatic approach of top school chief executive officers (CEOs) has been to utilize business management practices that are thought to increase the length of their tenure as leaders of their districts. The benefit of borrowing strategies from the business world evolved as superintendents fought for recognition as good managers who are regarded as valuable by most school board members, businessmen in the community, and taxpayers in general. That way, it was reasoned, success in at least one arena was guaranteed, even if the schools under their leadership were not deemed academically successful
