BOARD-SAVVY SUPERINTENDENT

I once got a call from a superintendent who was upset with his school board chair. The chair had visited the high school on his own and noticed a ceiling tile had been replaced in the cafeteria. He wanted to know why he had not been informed.

Another superintendent shared that his board chair picked her child up from the elementary school (where the central office also was located) every Friday afternoon. She would arrive early and drop in on the superintendent, park herself in a chair and spend the next half hour or more chatting about school board business.

In both cases, the relationship between the chair and superintendent was rocky, at best.

While we like to think that board members should be treated equally, there is no arguing that one of the most important relationships you will have as superintendent is the one between you and your board chair. If communication breaks down with the chair, your tenure as superintendent will be difficult.
