C-0300 CBCA DELEGATED AUTHORITY
C-0300 CBCA The Governing Board delegates to the Superintendent, among other powers, the authority to perform the following acts:
• To act as hearing officer or hearing authority for the purposes of hearing or reviewing facts, deciding appropriate disciplinary action or reviewing disciplinary actions of other designated or authorized administrators, consistent with procedures established by state law or regulations or Board policy. The Superintendent is also designated as the hearing authority, review authority, or disciplinarian in hearings involving the long-term suspension or expulsion of public school students. The Superintendent may designate other administrators to perform any of these functions.
• To effect the immediate and temporary suspension with pay of public school employees, whether certified or non-certified, where the Superintendent in the exercise of his sole discretion determines such immediate action to be in the best interests of the school district, necessary to preserve the health, safety, or welfare of the students or other employees of the district, or to assure the continued efficient operation of the school district. No appeal to the Board from such action may be had unless the Superintendent also recommends Board action to suspend such employee without pay or to terminate or discharge such employee.
• The Board authorizes the Superintendent to manage all activities associated with the investment program including an annual review and assessment of the District’s investment program.
• To act as the spokesperson to the media on behalf of the Board.
The delegation of authority provided herein may not be used in a manner contrary to state law or regulation or to deny any student or employee rights to which he or she may otherwise be entitled. The Board may expand the delegation prescribed herein in appropriate circumstances. The enumeration of delegated authorities to the Superintendent shall not be construed to limit the authority of the Superintendent to take such further actions as may be necessary to administer school District programs or to execute School Board policy, unless such authority is reserved to the School Board by state law.
