Abstract
This research attempted to determine the ethical perceptions of Indiana K-12 public school principals through their ratings of selected ethical preparedness statements. The goal was to determine if significant differences exist among public school principals in the state of Indiana based on level and locale of school, gender, ethnicity, source of ethical development, and years of service related to ethical areas of knowledge, disposition, and performance as derived from the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium: Standards for School Leaders (ISLLC) Standard 5. The population for this study consisted of 1,900 public school principals in the state of Indiana. A survey instrument was emailed to the respondents, with a return rate of62%. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used~ with follow up tests (comparing each pair of groups) performed with Mann-Whitney tests.
