"This study attempts to identify and describe Minnesota superintendents’ perceptions of barriers to district level reform as well as compare superintendents’ perceptions of district reform related characteristics. This research also strives to identify factors preventing Minnesota’s district-level leadership from implementing national reform efforts. All acting superintendents in the state of Minnesota were surveyed using a quantitative descriptive approach. The study revealed two major findings: Superintendents who claimed their districts had leadership skills to enact school change and knowledge of successful strategies regarding school reform were unrelated to the identification of barriers to district-level reform; and superintendents who claimed that their districts had passive resistance to change and ingrained patterns of behavior to resist change were related to the identification of barriers to districtlevel reform.
