Sixty-six female school board presidents completed questionnaires gathering demographic information related to their role as school board president. As well, these participants completed the Leadership Self-Efficacy Scale, LSES (Bobbio & Manganelli, 2009) identifying perceived leadership self-efficacy in six dimensions. The study has three purposes: to determine a profile of Illinois female school board presidents, to determine perceptions of their leadership self-efficacy, and to determine any relationship between characteristics and perceptions. The results of this study contribute to research which supports the nexus of higher levels of student achievement and effective superintendent and school board leadership (Iowa Association of School Boards, 2001). The role of the school board president is the fulcrum upon which the superintendent/board relationship balances. Findings revealed the female board presidents had the highest mean rating for leadership self-efficacy in the LSES dimension Choosing Effective Followers and Delegating Responsibilities.  \nNCPEA Education Leadership Review, Vol. 16, No. 1– April, 2015 ISSN: 1532-0723 © 2015 National Council of Professors of Educational Administration  \nIntroduction  \nPositive and productive relationships between superintendents and school boards profoundly affect higher levels of district student achievement (Iowa Association of School Boards, 2001; Waters & Marzano, 2005; Glass & Franceschini, 2007; Hess & Meeks, 2010 ; Kowalski, McCord, Petersen, Young, & Ellerson, 2011) . These positive and productive relationships are characterized by shared leadership, better district governance, and increased student achievement. It is a persistent challenge for superintendents and school board members to reach this governance standard (Tallerico, 1989; Glass & Franceschini, 2007; Hess & Meeks, 2010; Kowalski, McCord, Petersen, Young, & Ellerson, 2011) . Orientation to board service and board training that defines roles, structure, processes, and self-evaluation (Eadie, 2009) lay the groundwork for productive relationships, while maintenance and development of board relations is on-going. Superintendents shoulder a significant part of this responsibility. However, the fulcrum point on this balance beam of shared leadership is the board president. Depending upon many factors and influences, the role of school board president may be \"alternately described as power and [or] merely ceremonial\" (Alpert, 2008, n.p.) . Whether powerful or ceremonial, the superintendent and board president must develop a relationship that leads to shared leadership. What is often overlooked in developing this relationship is how the self-efficacy of the school board president can be leveraged to establish shared leadership. This can be achieved by identifying, valuing, and tapping the leadership self-efficacy a board member may bring to the table.  \nThe self-efficacy of the board president is critical for another, often overlooked, reason. As the mean length of tenure of a school board member, 6.7 years (Hess, 2002), exceeds the typical length of tenure of a school superintendent, six years (Glass & Franceshini, 2007), the leadership of the school board president bridges the gap between administration and board of education during times of superintendent turnover. The school board president may be the sole leadership constant over a length of time or over periodic lengths of time in some districts.
