1210 - BOARD - DISTRICT ADMINISTRATOR RELATIONSHIP

The Board of Education believes that, in general, it is the primary duty of the Board to establish policies and that of the District Administrator to administer such policies. Policy should not be originated or changed without the input or recommendation of the District Administrator. The District Administrator should be given the latitude to determine the best method of implementing the policies of the Board.

The District Administrator, as the chief administrative officer of the School District, is the primary professional advisor to the Board. S/He is responsible for the development, supervision, and operation of the school program and facilities, including the development of administrative guidelines consistent with Policy 1230.01 - Development of Administrative Guidelines. The Board shall retain oversight of such administrative guidelines.

The District Administrator and those administrators directed by the District Administrator shall attend all Board and Board committee meetings, when feasible. Administrative participation shall be by professional counsel, guidance, and recommendation - as distinct from deliberation, debate, and voting of Board members.

The Board is responsible for determining the success of the District Administrator, in meeting the goals established by the Board, through an annual evaluation of the District Administrator's performance. The Board, in formulating its position with regard to the performance of the District Administrator, shall rely, whenever possible, on the objective outcomes of its evaluations rather than on subjective opinions.
