Job descriptions of those positions will also be found here, or a reference to where they may be found if their number justifies a separate manual.
In addition, you should find here an organization chart, a statement of the line of responsibility, evidence of problem solving and communications devices like councils, cabinets, and committees for executives - all supported by a clear statement of the philosophy of administration subscribed to by the Board and Superintendent. |
