Board/Superintendent Relationship

(back to Faulkton Area School Policies)

The board believes that the legislation of policies is its most important function and that the execution of those policies is the function of the superintendent. Together, the board and the superintendent are a team, each playing a well defined position.

The superintendent will be the chief executive officer of the board and will be responsible for the administrative and advisory functions of the board. Planning, policy-making, and evaluation are the functions of the board.

The board holds the superintendent responsible for the administration of district policies, the execution of board decisions, the operation of internal machinery designed to serve the school program, and for keeping the board informed about school operations and problems.
