306 - Succession of Authority to the Superintendent

In the absence of the superintendent, it will be the responsibility of the other administrators to assume the superintendent's duties.  The succession of authority to the superintendent will be in this order:

1. Director of Curriculum
2. Building Principal designated by Board

If the absence of the superintendent is temporary, the successor will assume only those duties and responsibilities of the superintendent that require immediate action.  If the board determines the absence of the superintendent will be a lengthy one, the board will appoint an acting superintendent to assume the responsibilities of the superintendent.  The successor will assume the duties when the successor learns of the superintendent's absence or when assigned by the superintendent or the board.

References to "superintendent" in this policy manual will mean the "superintendent or the superintendent's designee" unless otherwise stated in the board policy.
