308 - Succession of Authority to the Superintendent

In the absence of the superintendent, it shall be the responsibility of the building principal to assume the superintendent’s duties.

If the absence of the superintendent is temporary, the successor shall assume only those duties and responsibilities of the superintendent that require immediate action.  If the absence of the superintendent will be a lengthy one, as determined by the Board, the Board shall appoint an acting superintendent to immediately assume the responsibilities of the superintendent.

It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent to inform the successor of the superintendent’s absence, if possible.  If the superintendent is unable to inform the successor, it shall be the responsibility of the successor to assume the superintendent’s duties, in accordance with this policy statement, when the successor learns of the absence and its length.

References to “superintendent” in this policy manual shall mean the “superintendent or the superintendent’s designee” unless otherwise stated in the board policy.
