Personnel

The board adopted an updated Superintendent’s Duties policy in August 2026, defining the superintendent as chief executive over operations, instruction, facilities, finance, and public engagement. This clarifies that the superintendent will lead strategic planning, budget supervision, facility effectiveness reviews, curriculum changes, and staff training. For vendors, this is a leadership and governance signal: the superintendent is the central point for future decisions on instructional programs, facilities improvements, budgeting tools, and staff development services.
