Abstract	The role of superintendent is complex, and it is one that carries with it the responsibilities of chief executive officer. The superintendent as the chief executive officer for the school district is often standing directly in the eye of the storm and is caught between competing interests and competing opinions regarding how to navigate moments of chaos that occur within the community and school district. This chaos may include a natural disaster that impacts the community, but it may also be a student death, an incident that raises community concerns, or, as in the case of this study, a global pandemic. This study focuses specifically on the chaos surrounding COVID-19 within school districts and their communities. The purpose of this study was to examine the lived experience of school district superintendents as they lead their districts in the face of chaos. This study focused on the lived experiences of six school district superintendents as they each navigated their role of leadership through the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic. This interest and focus on the lived experience of the participants lent itself to a phenomenological approach.
