DEVELOPMENT OF PROCEDURES

The Superintendent-Director will be responsible for specifying required ac­tions and designing the detailed arrangements under which the regional school system will be operated in accordance with regional school system policy.  These detailed arrangements will be designed to implement policies, goals, and objectives of the Committee and will be one of the means by which the regional school system will be governed.

In the development of regulations, the Superintendent-Director may involve at the planning stage those who would be affected by the procedures, including staff members, students, parents/guardians, and the public.  He/she must weigh with care the counsel given by representatives of staff, stu­dent and community organizations.  He/she will inform the Committee of such counsel in presenting pertinent reports of procedures and in presenting regulations for Committee approval.

As long as the Superintendent-Director operates within the guidelines of policy adopted by the Committee, he/she may issue procedures without prior Committee approval unless Committee action is required by law, or the Committee has specifically asked that certain types of regulations be given Committee approval, or the Superintendent-Director recommends Committee approval in light of strong community attitudes or probable staff reactions.
