| Mabel Canton Schools Adopted 2000 Revised: 301 SCHOOL DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION I. PURPOSE The purpose of this policy is to clarify the role of the school district administration and its relationship with the school board. II. GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLICY A. Effective administration and sound management practices are essential to realizing educational excellence. It is the responsibility of the school district administration to develop a school environment that recognizes the dignity of each student and employee, and the right of each student to access educational programs and services. B. The school board expects all activities related to the operation of the school district to be administered in a well-planned manner, conducted in an orderly fashion, and to be consistent with the policies of the school board. C. The school board shall seek specific recommendations, background information and professional advice from the school district administration, and will hold the administration accountable for sound management of the schools. D. Although the school board holds the superintendent ultimately responsible for administration of the school district, the school board also recognizes the direct responsibility of principals for educational results and effective leadership at the school building level. E. The school board and school administration shall work together to share information and decisions that best serve the needs of school district students within financial and facility constraints that may exist.
