Abstract	Dual superintendency is a popular tack in rural America for the preservation of proud communities. The job is not for someone who wants to coast. There are two budgets to develop and monitor, two school boards, two sets of priorities. Keeping everyone in two school districts satisfied is more than a full-time occupation. Other school communities see the dual superintendency as part of a prolonged courtship dance, giving them time to size up each other before considering a permanent merger. For some districts, sharing a superintendent is the only way to stave off forced consolidation, which many rural communities see as the beginning of the end. This article describes the dual responsibilities of superintendents who are willing to shoulder the administrative tasks of two or more districts in an effort to save each district money. (ERIC).
