Chain of Command

The Superintendent shall develop an organizational chart indicating the channels of authority and reporting relationships for school personnel.  These channels should be followed, and no level should be by-passed except in unusual situations.

All personnel should refer matters requiring administrative action to the responsible administrator, and may appeal a decision to a higher administrative officer.  Whenever possible, each employee should be responsible to only one immediate supervisor.  Where this is not possible, the division of responsibility must be clear.
