 ESU No. 18 shall have a chief executive and administrative officer, referred to as the Unit Administrator. A Lincoln Public Schools employee may be assigned as the Unit Administrator, and if such is the case, the ESU No. 18 Board hereby accepts such assignment. The Board further authorizes the Unit Administrator to handle and complete all day-to-day business for and on behalf of the service unit and directs the Unit Administrator to organize an administrative and supervisory team as necessary to provide effective and efficient administration of service unit purposes and of the policies, rules and regulations of the Board.

The Unit Administrator may delegate to staff members or others 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 Unit Administrator shall have authority to implement his/her responsibility through:
  1. requiring reports from staff members or others as necessary.
  2. assigning or transferring staff members in accordance with Board policies, rules and regulations, laws and/or contracted agreements.
  3. forming committees or task forces to make plans or recommend procedures.
  4. directing the work of staff members or others in accordance with the law and, as appropriate, any organizational plan.
Administrative and supervisory positions in the service unit, if any, may be assigned as recommended by the Unit Administrator or as approved by the Board. In addition, some positions may be required by state law.  It is the intent of the Board to activate a sufficient number of such assignments or positions to promote the attainment of the service unit’s goals and provide for the effective management of the service unit.

The ESU No. 18 Board may, in conjunction with Lincoln Public Schools, maintain a set of qualifications and job descriptions for service unit assignments or positions.
