CB-P1 - Organization Chart

The administrative authority in the Prairie Spirit School Division is vested in the Board of Trustees by the Public Schools Act and by the electoral process. The Board delegates authority to the Senior Administration, who further delegates to others, as shown in the Organization Chart.

The Organization Chart (CB-E1) delineates the lines of authority in the different sectors of the School Division.  It reflects two types of authority, as follows:

A. DIRECT LINE AUTHORITY

Direct Line Authority is designated in the Organization Chart by solid lines leading from the Board of Trustees to the Senior Administration, to the Principals and other administrators, and so on.  It clearly indicates who is the direct supervisor of each employee in the system.

B. FUNCTIONAL AUTHORITY

Functional Authority is designated by broken lines on the Organization Chart. It does not interfere with Direct Line Authority, but in fact complements it.  It represents a degree of authority resulting from the work done with others in the system, in a particular area, as a function of the position held.

In consideration of a dual senior leadership model, there will be staff with no person above them other than the superintendent or secretary treasurer.  In a situation where either an appeal to an evaluation or a situation in which a resolution is not forthcoming, an employee may consult with the other senior administrator.  This consultation will not be considered as pejorative to either party.
