Operational Expectations
While the Mission and Student Achievement Goals are the major drivers of what happens in the school system, the Board also has concerns about how the system operates. These operational expectations express those concerns to the Superintendent and staff. Continuous monitoring by the Board will provide the means for judging whether compliance with the operational expectations has been achieved.
The Superintendent will provide superior training designed to increase individual and system effectiveness. The Superintendent will:
1. Provide career enrichment and advancement opportunities.
2. Identify and develop strong leaders and ensure leadership continuity.
3. Support staff members in their efforts to help students meet high academic standards by increasing individual and system effectiveness.
Reasonable Interpretations and Indicators
The Board expects the Superintendent to apply reasonable interpretations to its statements of Student Achievement goals and Operational Expectations, and to present those interpretations to the Board as part of the monitoring process. The Board recognizes that strategic choices will be based upon those interpretations, and therefore the interpretations of the Superintendent must be reasonable. The Board further recognizes that there may be serveral potential interpretations to the Student Achievement Goals and the operational Expectations, all falling within the relam of "reasonable." The Board will accept any interpretation made by the Superintendent, as long as the Board considers it to be reasonable.
