Administration

Administrative Leeway in Absence of Board Policy

The board empowers the superintendent to act in those instances where emergency action must be taken and where the board has not provided policies to guide administrative action. In such instances, the superintendent shall inform the board of actions taken and identify the need for policy formulation. All actions taken by the superintendent as emergency actions are subject to review by the board at its next regular meeting following the superintendent’s use of emergency powers.

When the superintendent finds it necessary to use emergency powers, the superintendent shall present recommendations to the board for policy adoption to guide future actions of a similar nature.
