The Board believes that policy-making is one of its most important functions. Implementation of policy is the function of the district administrator. The Board delegates executive powers to the district administrator so that he/she may manage the schools within the Board's policies, permitting the Board to devote its time to policy-making and evaluation.
The Board shall hold the district administrator responsible for carrying out its policies within established guidelines and for keeping the Board informed about school operations.
Members of the Board cannot act for the Board on any matter unless officially delegated by the Board with the authority to do so. Members shall refrain from involving themselves in administrative matters and from asking the district administrator for personal considerations. Board members shall refer all non-board action matters to the district administrator.
The district administrator may delegate responsibility and authority necessary for the operation on the schools to other designated officials who are serving in an administrative capacity.
