ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF FUNCTION
The administrative staff should act as a directing force toward the achievement of excellence in the educational
program. The Superintendent shall organize the staff to achieve the school district goals as expressed by the
Board of Education. The Superintendent shall be the administrator responsible to the Board of Education and
shall identify lines of primary authority for all employees.
The primary responsibility of the administrative staff is to help create and foster an environment of excellence in
which students can learn most effectively. Excellence in education includes ensuring administrative role models
reflect diversity in the population as a whole. In an effort to provide such role models, the Board supports
measures to increase diversity through effective recruitment and hiring practices.
Professional development activities will be provided for all staff. The Board will work toward achieving excellence
in education by utilizing varied professional development programs aimed at developing leadership skills,
stimulating interest of those who are underrepresented in administrative positions, and providing career
advancement support and professional development opportunities for new and experienced administrators.
Policy committee recommends removal of this policy because it is redundant with applicable law
and unnecessary given that there are administrative job descriptions approved by The Board.
Administrators must adhere to the CT code of professional responsibility for school administrators.
