[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the article,[b] black teachers are underrepresented and black administrators are overrepresented. [/b]Since principals have absolute authority over hiring teachers in their schools, there could be bias at the individual school/principal level. The difference between underrepresentation and normal representation is only a couple percentage points, so it could just be coming down to the applicants to the particular schools, rather than solely due to bias. Taking hiring authority away from principals may solve that problem but would definitely create others. Interesting study with interesting results. [/quote] This has been our experience in McLean where 2 of the four schools my DCs attended had AA Principals ( AP was AA in a third) and the cluster head was AA, but virtually all of the teachers were white and prodominantly female.
