Superintendent & Team
Superintendents communicate New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) policy to schools and the public. All superintendents perform statutory duties for each school, including evaluating schools in their districts, appointing principals in district schools, acting as rating officer for principals in the district, approving principal and teacher tenure decisions, and approving school budgets.
They also support communities by communicating with District Leadership Teams (DLTs), Presidents’ Councils, and Parent Associations (PA/PTAs), liaising with Community Education Councils (CECs) and the Citywide Council of High Schools (CCHS), and supervising Family Leadership Coordinators and Family Support Coordinators.
