THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Superintendent
Duties and Authorities
The Superintendent is the District’s executive officer and is responsible for administration and management of District schools, in accordance with Board policies, collective bargaining and other agreements, and state and federal law. The Superintendent is authorized to develop administrative procedures to implement Board policy and to delegate duties and responsibilities. Delegation of power or duty, however, will not relieve the Superintendent of responsibility for action delegated.
Qualifications and Appointment
The Superintendent must be of good character and unquestionable morals and integrity. The Superintendent shall have the experience and the skills necessary to work effectively with the Board, District employees, students, and the community. The Superintendent will have a valid administrative certificate and superintendent’s endorsement issued by the State Certification Board.
When the office of the Superintendent becomes vacant, the Board will conduct a search to find the most capable person for the position. Qualified staff members who apply for the position will be considered for the vacancy.
Evaluation
The Board will evaluate, at least annually, the performance of the Superintendent, using standards and objectives developed by the Superintendent and Board, which are consistent with the District’s mission and goal statements. A specific time will be designated for a formal evaluation session. The evaluation should include a discussion of professional strengths, as well as performance areas needing improvement.
Compensation and Benefits
The Board and the Superintendent will enter into a contract which conforms to this policy and state law. This contract will govern the employment relationship between the Board and the Superintendent.
