LINE AND STAFF RELATIONS

The school board directs the superintendent to inform all personnel regarding the working relationships in the school system.

Lines of direct authority shall be those approved by the board and shown on the district organization charts.  

Personnel shall refer matters requiring administrative action to the administrator to whom they are responsible.  That administrator shall refer such matters to the next higher administrator when necessary.  All personnel shall keep the immediate administrator informed of their activities.

Personnel shall have the right to appeal any decision made by an administrative officer through grievance procedures established  through board policy.

The established lines of authority represent direction of authority and responsibility.  When the staff is working together, the lines represent avenues for a two-way flow of ideas to improve the program and operations of the school system.

The Mississippi Public School Accountability Standard for this policy is standard 3.
