Agawam Public Schools - CE ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCILS, CABINETS, AND COMMITTEES

The School Committee authorizes the Superintendent to establish such permanent or temporary councils, cabinets, and committees as he/she deems necessary for proper administration of Committee policies and for the development of the total educational program.

All councils, cabinets, and committees created by the Superintendent shall be for the purpose of obtaining to a maximum degree the advice and counsel of administrative and supervisory personnel of the school system and to aid in communication. Functioning in an advisory capacity, such groups may make recommendations for submission to the Committee through the Superintendent. However, such groups shall exercise no inherent authority. Authority for establishing policy remains with the Committee and authority for implementing policy remains with the Superintendent.

The membership, composition, and responsibilities of administrative councils, cabinets, and committees shall be defined by the Superintendent and may be changed at his/her discretion.

Expenses incurred by such groups for consultative services, materials, and any investigative travel shall be paid from the general operating funds of the system but only when within budgetary allotments and approved by the Superintendent in advance.
