All personnel shall refer matters requiring administrative action to the supervisor (Superintendent, principal, other supervisor) immediately in charge of the area. Supervisors shall refer such matters to the next higher authority when necessary.
All personnel shall have the right to appeal any decision made by a supervisor, through approved grievance procedures. Within the broad framework of School Board policy, other certified administrative personnel shall assist the person in charge as assigned.
All certified administrative personnel shall keep the person they are immediately responsible to informed of their activities.
The following principles form the basis for the efficient administration of the school system.
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).
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 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, the 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.
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.
Teachers are obligated to
abide by all rules and 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.
Non-professional personnel are responsible to the immediate supervisor.
