Hiring School Administrators

The Superintendent, as the chief executive officer of the Board of Education, shall be responsible for the professional leadership and skills necessary to translate the Board's will into administrative action.  In fulfilling the Superintendent's responsibilities for all aspects of school operations, the Board recognizes the Superintendent's critical responsibility in leading a highly functional administrative team.

Therefore, in accordance with Connecticut General Statutes, Section 10-151, the ______________ Board of Education delegates the Superintendent the authority to hire certified, non-administrative and support positions. For administrative and supervisory positions, the Superintendent shall nominate at least one candidate to the Board of Education to fill a vacancy. The vote to approve the position by the Board must occur within fourteen (14) calendar days after the Superintendent's notification of the request to the full Board of Education.

If the Board does not act favorably upon the Superintendent's recommendation within this specified time, the Superintendent shall recommend single alternative candidates until the recommendation is approved.
