Code: CBB
Amity School District 4J
Adopted: 6/29/89
Recruitment and Appointment of the Superintendent
The Board considers foremost among its responsibilities the selection and appointment of a superintendent who can effectively translate into action the policies of the Board and the aspirations of the community for its schools.
To provide the most capable leadership available for the district, the Board of directors may engage in a nationwide search for applicants for the position of superintendent whenever a vacancy in that position occurs.
The Board may seek the advice and counsel of interested individuals or of an advisory committee, or it may hire consultants to assist in screening candidates and to encourage the filing of applications by professional educators who meet the qualifications. Final selection, however, will rest with the Board after a thorough consideration of qualified applicants.
The Board will appoint the superintendent by a majority vote of the Board members at a meeting for which notice has been given of that intended action.
At the time of his/her appointment, the superintendent will be issued an initial contract, with the length of the contract and salary as mutually negotiated and determined. The Board will thereafter fix the superintendent’s salary annually, prior to the beginning of the new fiscal year.
