The School Board authorizes the Superintendent to establish permanent or temporary councils, cabinets, and committees as he/she deems necessary for the proper administration of board policies, compliance with State Accreditation Standards and for the improvement of the total educational program.

Functioning in an advisory capacity, such groups may make recommendations for submission to the Board through the Superintendent.  However, such groups shall have no inherent authority.

The membership and responsibilities of councils, cabinets, and committees shall be defined by the Superintendent and may be changed at his/her discretion.

Expenses incurred by such groups for consultative services, materials and investigative travel may be paid from the general operating funds of the district, but only when the expenses are within budgetary allotments and approved by the Superintendent in advance.
