AB  - The study investigated popular election results regarding the
relationship between the variables of county board member defeat or
re‐election and the reappointment or dismissal of county school
superintendents, in the state of North Carolina, within a one, two,
three or four year time frame. All 100 county school districts were
studied over a 12‐year period of time in which an ex post facto
quasi‐experimental research design was used to determine the
relationship between incumbent board member defeat and superintendent
turnover following six general elections. Results of the study show
there was stability in both superintendent reappointment and incumbent
school board member re‐election. These findings do not support previous
research regarding the dissatisfaction theory in that previous studies
found significant differences between superintendent turnover and
incumbent school board member defeat. This study, unlike others, focused
on county public superintendent turnover and county board member
election results as opposed to city or state superintendent and school
board member elections.
