Recruiting minority candidates was more often a problem than recruiting female candidates, survey respondents said.
受訪者表示招募少數族裔候選人往往是一個問題比招聘女性候選人困難的問題。

Seventeen percent of all respondents said increasing the number of women in management positions has been an issue in their district; 86 percent said that qualified females were considered for the vacancy they filled last year.

The great majority of principals are male and White (non-Hispanic), the study states. The percentage of minority principals in public schools, however, did increase from 13 to 16 percent between the school years 1987-88 and 1993-94, according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). During the same time period, the percentage of female principals rose from 25 percent to 35 percent.
本研究中絕大多數校長是白種男性（非西班牙裔）。 然而根據全國教育統計中心（NCES），在一些公立學校，其他少數族裔的校長於1987-88和1993-94學年間，有些微增加13%至16%。 During the same time period, the percentage of female principals rose from 25 percent to 35 percent.在同一時期，女性校長的比例上升到25%至35%。

"Instead of waiting for individuals to self-select administration, educational leaders must be identified and groomed in a systematic way that facilitates the recruitment of potential leaders among women and minorities," concludes a 1992 report about a joint program of the New York City Board of Education and the Bank Street College Principals Institute.

“與其等待個別學校自行選擇校長，教育領導者必須有系統地確立並扶植具潛在領導人的女性和少數民族。
