The policy requires the Board to ensure the Superintendent has appropriate skills and establishes an evaluation system with criteria, methods, and timelines. The Superintendent can delegate duties to other staff but remains responsible for their actions. The policy emphasizes that district administration should focus on supporting student learning, enhancing achievement, maintaining positive community relationships, and building confidence in district schools.
