COVID-19 protocols, politics driving school superintendents to leave in big numbers

School superintendents are leaving the profession in droves.

"Superintendents are spending a lot of time addressing socio-political concerns and not nearly the amount of time they want to spend on the development and the educational attainment of students," Michael Collins, president of Ray & Associates, told Fox News.

Another factor is once sleepy school board meetings have gotten heated in recent months as parents have grown more frustrated over COVID issues and about what is being taught in classrooms.
