The following principles form the basis for the efficient administration of the school system.

 

  1. The School Board is the policy-forming body of the district.  This body sets the general policy which conforms to the laws of the State of Louisiana and regulations of the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE). 

  2. The Superintendent has the responsibility of enforcing the policies of the School Board; interpreting the laws of the State and the regulations of the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE).  The administration of all facets of operation of the schools is his/her responsibility. 

    The Superintendent is the instructional leader and chief executive officer of the school district, and professional advisor to the School Board.  As such, he/she has primary responsibility for personnel actions in the district as may be outlined in state law or School Board policy.

    The School Board's legal advisor, auditor, and other appointed professionals, e.g., architect, and consultant, shall be responsible to the School Board.  This does not preclude coordination of assigned tasks with the professional staff.

 

  1. Each school principal has the responsibility for the hiring or placement of any teacher or other personnel at the school in which the principal is employed, subject to the approval of the Superintendent.  The principal also has responsibility for supervising and directing operations at that school.

  2. Teachers are obligated to abide by the rules, regulations, and are responsible for seeing that they are carried out, by performing their classroom duties as well as extra duties to the best of their abilities.

  3. Non-professional personnel are responsible to the immediate supervisor.
