In the absence of the superintendent, it is the responsibility of the other administrators to assume the superintendent’s duties. If the absence of the superintendent is temporary, the successor shall be that individual or individuals temporarily appointed by the superintendent and communicated to the board president.
If the absence of the superintendent is temporary, the successor will assume only those duties and responsibilities of the superintendent that require immediate action. If the board determines the superintendent will be absent for an extended period of time, the board will appoint an acting superintendent to assume the responsibilities of the superintendent. The successor will assume the duties when the successor learns of the superintendent’s absence or when assigned by the superintendent or the board.
References to “superintendent” in this policy manual will mean the “superintendent or the superintendent’s designee” unless otherwise stated in the board policy.
