The Lincoln Board of Education appoints a Superintendent as its chief administrative officer.  The Superintendent of Schools shall organize an administrative and supervisory team to provide effective and efficient administration of the policies of the Board, administration rules and regulations, and the educational program.

 

The Superintendent may delegate to other staff members any of the powers and duties that the Board has entrusted to him/her.  However, he/she is responsible to the Board for proper execution of matters and cannot delegate responsibility.

 

The Superintendent shall have authority to implement his/her responsibility through:

1. requiring reports from all staff members as necessary.
2. assigning, or transferring staff members in accordance with Board policies and/or contracted agreements.
3. forming committees or task forces to make plans or recommend procedures.
4. directing the work of all staff members in accordance with the organizational plan.

Administrative and supervisory positions in the school system are recommended by the Superintendent and approved by the Board.  In addition, some positions are required by state law.  It is the intent of the Board to activate a sufficient number of such positions to promote the attainment of the School District’s goals and provide for the effective management of the District.

 

In each of these cases, the Board will approve the broad purpose and function of the position, and delegate to the Superintendent the task of writing, or causing to be written, a job description for the position.

 

The Board instructs the Superintendent to maintain a comprehensive set of job descriptions for all such positions.
