Abstract
In 1976 an OSSC Bulletin described how the work of women and men was segregated in Oregon public schools (Schmuck, 1976a). It was pointed out that sex segregation was most apparent in educational leadership. Although women comprised 56 percent of certified educators, 94 percent of principals and 99.8 percent of the superintendents were male. The 1976 OSSC publication coincided with the beginning of the Sex Equity in Educational Leadership Project (SEEL) funded by the Office of Education to change those processes which deter women's entrance and advancement in educational administration in Oregon. The SEEL project ended in August, 1979. This Bulletin describes the changes which have occurred in the past three years. Some progress has been made toward achieving an equitable representation of women in the predominately male role of administration. Sex equity, however, remains a challenge of the future.
