Policy committee reads revised guideline on who may make decisions when superintendent is absent
Summary
The board’s policy committee reported a revised guideline specifying who may make binding decisions when the superintendent is absent and unavailable; the guideline names a central office administrator as the interim decision maker and sets an administrative succession order if that person is unavailable.
During the policy report, the board heard a proposed revision to the district guideline that covers decision‑making authority when the superintendent is away and unavailable.
Policy committee member Miss Corbin read the revised text into the record: “Whenever the superintendent is away from the district and unavailable to make a decision, and if not otherwise specified in policy or administrative guidelines, a central office administrator will be appointed by the superintendent in his or her absence, and she'll be responsible for determining whether or not a decision must be made prior to the superintendent's return. If so, then he or she make the decision, a, take in or supervise appropriate actions, b, And then c, inform the superintendent upon his or her return. And then furthermore, should the central office administrator be unavailable, then the secondary school high school principal shall act. If the secondary school principal is out, then the elementary principal shall act.”
The committee report presented the revised guideline language for the board’s information; there was no formal vote recorded in the transcript on the policy change at this meeting. Board members acknowledged the reading and thanked the policy committee for the update.
Ending: The policy committee’s revised guideline was placed on the record and is expected to be available in board materials for future consideration or action.
