Abstract	This article addresses the important topic of culturally proficient/responsive school administrators for culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students with learning disabilities (LD). Culturally proficient/responsive school administrators with knowledge and strong leadership skills in multicultural education are essential to impact school change. Key factors--social organization, commitment, vision, leadership roles, etc.--impacting school administration effectiveness are discussed. The perspective of schools as (a) professional learning communities, (b) culturally proficient/responsive school administrators, and (c) principals and leaders who work cohesively with general and special educators is advocated. Lastly, the role of culturally proficient/responsive principals and the implementation of IDEIA requirements are discussed. (As Provided).
