Littleton Public Schools Policy

Policy Code    CA Policy Name    Administration Adoption            July 2, 1984 Revised

The purpose of school administration is to help create and foster an environment in which students can learn most effectively. All administrators’ duties and functions will be appraised in terms of the contributions that they make to better instruction and to higher student motivation and achievement.

The design of the administrative organization shall be such that all departments of the District and all schools are part of a single system subject to the policies set forth by the Board of Education and implemented through a single chief administrator, the Superintendent. The principals of all schools and the administrators of all divisions and departments are expected to administer their units in accordance with Board of Education policy and administrative regulations. However, the mere execution of directives cannot and should not, by itself, be construed as good administration. Vision, initiative, resourcefulness, leadership, and consideration and concern for staff members, students, and parents are essential in effective administration of the schools.
