Administrative Structure In April 2004, the Board of Trustees approved a new structure for the future leadership of our District. This decision followed a lengthy evaluation of our current method of structuring Administration and included research of other models to assure a structure that best supports student learning in our District.  Many interviews were conducted with both Superintendents and Trustees of school districts across California on the various models applicable to small school districts.   To best meet the needs of our students, the analysis showed that in a single school district such as ours, we needed to restore the previous level of administration (back to three administrators) and separate the functions of Superintendent and Principal as the responsibilities in each of these positions has grown increasingly more complex. This structure of a Superintendent, Principal and Assistant Principal/Director of Facilities increases the day-to-day oversight and coordination of the program for our students and more evenly distributes the workload demands of the current  Superintendent/Principal position over two positions.   Ross School Board of Trustees April 9/2004 Ross Administrative Learning Community Roles and Responsibilities Area Superintendent Principal Assistant Principal Curriculum Student Learning and Instruction •  Strategic Plan •  Liaison to the community •Curriculum development and adoption •Technology •       Information Literacy •  ELA •  Math •  History/Social Science •  Science •  Special Education •  Spanish •  Library/Information Literacy •  Art, Music and Drama •  Physical Education •  ELL •  Discipline •  Peer Mediation •  Community Service •  Middle School Calendar •       MS Athletics and Co-curricular School Committees •  Teaching and Learning Council •  Ross School Foundation •  Financial Advisory Board •  Parent Cabinet •  ETF •  Technology Committee •  CHAT •  PAR •  Friends of the Library •  Site Council •  Leadership Team •  EKOM •  PTA •  ETF •  Child Study Team •  Friends of the Library • BTSA •  Safety Committee •  SARB •  Facilities Maintenance •  Fine Arts Supervision and Evaluation •  One evaluation of all probationary staff or others as needed or requested •  Formal and Informal Classroom Observations •  Coaching •  Summatives •  Formal and Informal Classroom Observations •  Goal Setting •  Coaching •  Summatives •  Formal and Informal Classroom Observations •  Goal Setting •  Coaching •  Summatives Professional Development •  Work with Teaching and Learning Council to develop master plan for staff training •  Participate/Lead Staff Meetings as appropriate •  Implementation of the plan •  Work with individual staff •  Development of Professional Growth Plans •  Staff Meetings, Grade Level Meetings, Vertical Teaming Meetings •  Implementation of the plan •  Work with individual staff •  Development of Professional Growth Plans •  Staff Meetings, Grade Level Meetings, Vertical Teaming Meetings Develop and oversee the budget Purchase orders for staff Facilities Maintenance Budget
