The superintendent and other staff
to whom administrative or supervisory authority has been delegated shall be
authorized to use their best judgment in the absence of a specific policy or
procedure, provided that such action shall not be in conflict with the general
aims and objectives of the district or with any local, state or national
ordinances, statutes, regulations or directives.
·
In
the event there is doubt as to the appropriate course of action or if it is
apparent that the consequences could be serious, the staff member is expected
to contact the superintendent or other administrator who could provide
appropriate assistance.
Whenever action in the absence of
specific policy has been taken by a staff member that creates a potential for
controversy or a potential for the incurring of district financial obligation
or where the situation is likely to recur frequently, then such action shall be
brought to the attention of the board at its next regular meeting. In situations where a reasonable person could
determine that the above actions taken by a staff member should be brought to the
immediate attention of the board, the superintendent shall be notified and
he/she shall immediately consult with the board president as to the
advisability of calling a special board meeting to review the staff member's
action.
