The superintendent will annually designate the administrative chain of command to act in the superintendent’s absence or unavailability. The designee will have the authority to resolve any difficulties according to the district policies. The documented chain of command is on file and available in the Superintendent’s office.
If the absence of the superintendent is temporary, the successor shall assume only those duties and responsibilities of the superintendent that require immediate action. If the board determines the absence of the superintendent will be a lengthy one, the board shall appoint an acting superintendent to assume the responsibilities of the superintendent. The successor shall 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 shall mean the “superintendent or the superintendent’s designee” unless otherwise stated in the board policy.
