BOARD - SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT RELATIONS
The Board believes that the legislation of policies is the most important function of a school board and that the execution of the policies is the function of the Superintendent.

Delegation by the Board of its executive powers to the Superintendent provides freedom for the Superintendent to manage the district within the Board's policies and frees the Board to devote its time to policy-making and appraisal functions.

The Board holds the Superintendent responsible for the administration of its policies, the execution of Board decisions, the operation of the internal machinery designed to serve the school program, and for keeping the Board informed about district operations and problems.

In an effort to keep the Board informed, the Superintendent shall notify the President as promptly as possible of any emergency conditions or situations which occur in the district.
