Abstract
This survey study sought to understand how the COVID 19 pandemic impacted school leadership in K-12 schools in a South Texas region. Primarily, the results serve to inform education stakeholders and policy makers about the experiences of educational leaders in times of crisis and in managing school operations during the current pandemic. Findings indicate that school leaders were generally confident in their preparedness to best serve students, staff, and parents during the COVID-19 pandemic but felt a lack of resources and a preponderance of student inequities complicated the experience. Results provide evidence as to the support needed to continue effective school leadership under atypical circumstances.
