303.12 Administrative Councils, Cabinets and Committees

ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCILS, CABINETS, AND COMMITTEES

The Board authorizes the superintendent to establish such permanent or temporary councils, cabinets, and committees as are deemed necessary for the proper administration of board policies and for the improvement of the total educational program.

All councils, cabinets, and committees created by the superintendent shall be for the purpose of obtaining to a maximum degree the advice and counsel of administrative and supervisory personnel of the district and to aid in district communication.  Functioning in an advisory capacity, such groups may make recommendations for submission to the Board through the superintendent.  However, such groups shall exercise no inherent authority.  Authority for establishing policy remains with the Board and authority for implementing policy remains with the superintendent. 

The membership, composition, and responsibilities of administrative councils, cabinets, and committees shall be defined by the superintendent and may be changed at his/her discretion.

Expenses incurred by such groups for consultative services, materials, and any investigative travel shall be paid from the general operating funds of the district, but only when within budgetary allotments and approved by the superintendent in advance.

Expenses incurred by any such group in connection with the Regional Wellness Center, however, shall be paid from the District’s Regional Wellness Center funds.
