B/SR 3 Accountability of the Superintendent

The Superintendent is the board’s only link to operational achievement and conduct, so that all authority and accountability of staff, as far as the board is concerned, is considered the authority and accountability of the Superintendent. Accordingly:

1. The board will never give instructions to persons who report directly or indirectly to the Superintendent.

2. The board will not evaluate, either formally or informally, any staff other than the Superintendent.

3. The board will view Superintendent performance as identical to organizational performance so that organizational accomplishment of board-stated ends and avoidance of board-proscribed means will be viewed as successful Superintendent performance.
