BOARD-SUPERINTENDENT RELATIONS. The Superintendent will work with the Board in developing and maintaining a spirit of cooperation and teamwork in which the Board will accept responsibility for formulating and adopting policy and for taking action on matters which, by law, require Board action. The administrative responsibility and commensurate authority for administering the school system will be delegated by the Board to the Superintendent. The Board recognizes that it is a collective body and each Board member recognizes that his/her power as a Board member is derived from the collective deliberation and action of the Board as a whole in a duly constituted meeting. Individual Board members will not give direction to the Superintendent or any staff member regarding the management of the District or the solution of specific problems. It is agreed that the Board, individually and collectively, will refer promptly to the Superintendent for study and recommendation, criticism, complaints and suggestions brought to the attention of the Board or any member thereof. The Board shall provide the Superintendent with periodic opportunities, at least twice a year, to discuss Board-Superintendent relationships as they relate to the Board’s productivity and the effectiveness of the Superintendent’s leadership. As a part of this process, when it is deemed necessary by either the Board or the Superintendent, an outside advisor may be retained to facilitate this process. The Board will hold the Superintendent accountable to manage the District consistent with the approved policies which establish what it expects the schools to accomplish. It is through Board policy and official Board action that the Board gives direction to the District. The Superintendent will be held responsible for recommending, establishing, and implementing programs and services, and for managing the District to meet the Board’s expectations as established by Board policy. The Board, by exercising its governance and policy-making role, can be assured that it determines what it is the District should accomplish and whether, in fact, the District is accomplishing it.

Administrative responsibility and commensurate authority for administering the school system will be delegated by the Board to the Superintendent.

The Superintendent will be held responsible for establishing programs and services for managing the District to meet the Board’s expected outcomes in providing data from which the Board can evaluate the District’s achievements.
