Administrative Discretion Regarding Board Policy
Through the adoption of written policies, the Governing Board conveys its expectations for actions that will be taken in the district, clarifies roles and responsibilities of the Board and Superintendent, and communicates Board philosophy and direction. However, the Board recognizes that, at times, issues may arise in the operation of district schools that are not addressed in Board policy or administrative regulation. When resolution of such issues necessitates immediate action, the Superintendent or designee shall have the authority to act on behalf of the district.
(cf. 2110 - Superintendent Responsibilities and Duties)
(cf. 9000 - Role of the Board)
(cf. 9310 - Board Policies)
If the matter involves a policy decision where controversy is foreseeable, or a matter that has a significant impact on student learning or safety, the Superintendent or designee shall notify the Board as soon as practicable after its occurrence. The Board president and the Superintendent shall schedule a review of the action at the next regular Board meeting. If the action indicates the need for additions or revisions to Board policies, the Superintendent or designee shall make the necessary recommendations to the Board.
(cf. 9322 - Agenda/Meeting Materials)
Tier 3 Categorical Flexibility
The Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the district to utilize the categorical program flexibility authorized by Education Code 42605. In accordance with Education Code 42605, for the 2008-09 through 2012-13 fiscal years, the Superintendent may suspend statutory or regulatory program and funding requirements for Tier 3 categorical programs reflected in any of the district's Board policies, administrative regulations, bylaws, or exhibits to the extent that such suspension does not affect the terms of any existing district contract or bargaining agreement. He/she may also suspend any such language reflected in any district procedure, rule, plan, or employee or student handbook. As necessary, the Superintendent or designee shall consult with other staff, district legal counsel, and/or the chief business official regarding the district's exercise of this flexibility.
