- W20820458 abstract "Given the advent of new forms of schooling in American education, specifically, integrated social-service schools (ISS), a radical rethinking of traditional leadership models is needed. This paper suggests a new role for K-12 public school leaders--that of the school president. Data were derived from a review of the job descriptions of the presidency in 40 Jesuit college-preparatory high schools nationwide. Findings indicate that a congruence exists between the job descriptions and the emerging needs of public ISS schools. Leaders of ISS schools must perform chief-executive officer (CEO) functions, procure and distribute resources, hold together policy and praxis in a complex structure, communicate effectively to a variety of .stakeholders, coordinate a wide range of professionals, and promote external relations. Given the triple task of teaching, research, and service, the university is the most appropriate place in which to explore models of leadership for ISS schools and to prepare prospective anA current practitioners for the role.

INTRODUCTION In light of broad radical change in theories of administration and the demands of schools, I put forth in this paper a new role in pre-K through 12 educational administration, the Presidency. Specifically, th. advent of a new structure in U.S. education -integrated social-service schools [ISS] that provide children with holistic, proactive care from a range of agencies -prompts radical rethinking of traditional models of leadership. Theories of administration and leadership call for change. The positivistic theoretical foundation of the modern age has given way to a postmodern paradigm that recognizes the central place of self and of context. The reigning constructivist philosophy of education fosters local reform, not conformity. Ethics plays a key role here. Along with the conventional focus on ethical administrators comes a new demand for administrators of ethical institutions. Instead of perpetuating ossified and outmoded arrangements, ethical administrators must understand the institutional context in order to create structures based on the pressing needs of children today. Implementation requires highly developed skills of analysis; structural design and coordination; alliance-building; mustering of resources; and rhetoric, the ability to be a broadly knowledgeable and articulate public person. These idiosyncratic and particularistic traits do not figure prominently in the traditional model of the principalship. New schools without new leadership are doomed; new wine requires new wine bottles. Empirical analysis offers an appropriate direction for change. Because new leadership models for ISS schools are yet untested, educators must look to analogues in other contexts. In this study I examined the job descriptions of the presidency in 40 private schools nation-wide. I found remarkable congruence between what is described there and the emerging needs of public ISS schools. Given its triple task of research, teaching and service, the university is the most appropriate place to investigate the feasibility of the public-school presidency and then to prepare prospective and current practit oners to take on the task. A THEORETICAL RATIONALE FOR THE PUBLIC-SCHOOL PRESIDENCY For several years, the entire field of educational administration has been under intense scrutiny (Murphy 1992, Anson, 1992). Post-modern epistemology has given birth to new constructivist ways of understanding" @default.
