Abstract	The purpose of this research was to survey selected Eastern Kentucky Teachers (Elementary, Middle, and High School) to collect data about stress in public schools. This was a continuation study for Eastern Kentucky that collected data on how men and women teachers and men and women administrators handle stress. A stress survey (Appendix C) was sent to randomly selected elementary, middle, and high school teachers located in the Eastern Kentucky region serviced by Morehead State University (22 Counties).

The conclusions for the survey were: (1) A majority of the teachers (68%) indicated men teachers handle stress the best.
