More women, more diversity in California school leadership, but gaps remain

State data shows the California school administrators are more racially diverse, more likely to be female and more likely to have less experience than administrators had several years ago, according to a recent study by the UCLA Center for the Transformation of Schools.

But there is a lot the state data doesn’t show. The data, which is not disaggregated by position, doesn’t reveal whether women and people of color are getting more district-level superintendent, deputy superintendent and directors jobs, or whether they are primarily gaining jobs at the vice principal or principal level.
