Board of Education (BE) Approval: 11/6/16 |
The most important and sensitive aspect of any Board-president relationship is that of mutual understanding and respect. If this relationship exists, the district's business is accomplished with efficiency and dispatch, generally against a background
of public understanding and support. In view of the importance of this vital relationship, the following principles embody a common understanding on the part of the Board and its president-chief executive officer:
- Individual prestige or gain will be subordinated to the general welfare of the College;
- A clear delineation of functions will exist between the Board and the president;
- Differences of opinion between the Board and President are respected, with a willingness to resolve these differences objectively;
- The President will keep the board well-informed;
- The President and Board will demonstrate mutual support for each other.
