Littleton Public Schools Policy

Policy Code    CBC Policy Name    Superintendent’s Contract Adoption            July 2, 1984 Revised

The superintendency is becoming more demanding as the Superintendent’s responsibilities become more complex. The Board of Education realizes that it is therefore increasingly important to attract able persons to the superintendency by making the rewards of the position commensurate with its challenges. The Board of Education further realizes that it is increasingly important to free the Superintendent from the pressures of groups in the community by ensuring his or her security from the threat of sudden and unjustified dismissal.

The Board of Education, upon the selection of a candidate or upon reappointment of the incumbent Superintendent, shall endeavor to secure the dignity of the position and the freedom of leadership appropriate to the responsibilities of the Superintendent through an explicit contractual agreement. Such contract shall meet the requirements of the state law and shall protect the rights of both the Board of Education and the Superintendent.
