By Judy Bernstein Staff Writer BOLTON More than half of the superintendents the state plan to retire in the next six years and, by all indications, no one is rushing to take their jobs, educational leaders said Tuesday. But school districts can take steps to resolve the crisis, forum leaders told school administrators, principals, teachers school board members at a regional conference at The Sagamore Resort.

State Education Commissioner Richard P. Mills and others said talented people are available to be tapped as replacements for the growing number of aging and retiring superintendents and other school administrators. They suggested looking to women and minorities, hiring from within the district and using internships and mentoring to nurture promising candidates. The average age of superintendents in the state is rising it is now 51.3 and by 2003-04, 63 percent are expected to retire. The situation is similar for principals, according to Syracuse education professor William Whitehall, who helped write a study this year on the state's superintendency.

While 100 people used to apply for a vacancy, the numbc is now a fraction of that, he said. Part of the problem in attracting schooT leaders is that the job is harder today than in past decades, with more demands and a faster -pace, several leaders said. "It's a hard calling. It's not going to get easier," Mills said. Regent James Dawson said new, more stringent state learning standards are putting more pressure on administrators.

Some have complained there have too many changes atonce, he said. At the same time, administrators particularly superintendents are fielding sometimes harsh criticism from -the public and Man charged with WARRENSBURG A 48-year-old King Street man was charged with four misdemeanors Tuesday for allegedly allowing underage people to have drinking parties at his home, police said. Timothy A. Randall faces four counts of second-degree criminal nuisance for allegedly allowing four children as young as 13 drink beer and liquor at his home. Warren County sheriff's Investigator Robert Snyder said.

None of the children, who were ages 15 and 17. became ill from the drinking. Snyder said. A police investigation began la4 month when authorities got a tip school boards. "There's an openyeeason on said.

What administrators must do, Mills said, is make an effort to get out the- word on the satisfactions of the job. They must also demand the public treat them with respect, he said. Other leaders said that school districts must work harder to recruit women for leadership positions, particularly drawing teachers from within the district. Whitehall said statistics on the number, oR women in administration is disproportionately low. While 71 percent of teachers in the state are women, they, make up only 12 percent of the superintendents.

"Something is wrong here," he Whitehall said the most recent sjudies about superintendents in the state show that several steps can be taken to widen the pool of candidates for administrative vacancies. Those include providing mentorships and internships and forging new partnerships with colleges and universities. Schools could also provide mediation services for administrators to give them a place to handle disputes before they face dismissal. At the end of the forum, local school leaders told Mills' that the Adirondack region faces particular problems, including the difficulty smaller districts have of attracting high quality leaders, according to regional BOCES district Superintendent Gerald CarOzZa. School leaders also suggested setting up training programs for new school, board members and mentoring programs that would allow teachers and middle managers to work with superintendents.

The state Board of Regents is compiling comments from a series of forums held around the state and will float draft recommendations in September. serving minors about the alleged said. The allegations particularly concerned police because Randall pleaded guilty to felony sodomy in 1994 for sexual contact with a 1 6-year-old girl, authorities said. He wa sentenced to five years on probation in that case. It could not be determined late Tuesday Whether he was still on probation.

Randall was arraigned before Warrensburg Town Justice Richard Nissen and sent to Warren County Jail for lack of SI. OOO cash bail or S5.000 bond The case was investigated by Snvder and sheriff Patrol Officer Jav Fidd. held at 7 m. hJuy. The second ill be held at 7 p.m.
