Code No. 300

Administration

Role of School District Administration

In this series of the board policy manual, the board shall define the role and the employment of school district administrators.  Policies in the 400 Series “Employees” also apply to administration unless a more specific policy exists in the 300 Series “Administration”.

School district administrators provide the educational leadership to implement the educational philosophy of the school district.  The administration is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the school district.  In carrying out these operations, the administration shall look to the board policies for guidance.

It shall be the responsibility of the administration to implement and enforce the policies of the board, to oversee school district personnel, to monitor educational issues confronting the school district, and to inform the board about school district operations.

While the board holds the superintendent ultimately responsible for these duties, the principals, assistant principals, and the directors are more directly responsible for educational results and for the administration of their school and employees.

The board and the administration shall operate under the management team concept.  The board and the administration shall work together to share information and decisions in the management of the school district.
