SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT


The superintendent has the duty to act for the board in seeing that the laws relating to the school and the rules of the state and the local board are faithfully executed.1 The superintendent is responsible for the management of the schools under the Board's policies and is accountable to the Board.

The superintendent, in his/her discretion, may delegate to other school personnel the exercise of any powers and the discharge of any duties imposed upon the superintendent by these policies or by vote of the Board. The delegation of power or duty, however, shall not relieve the superintendent of responsibility for the action taken under such delegation.
