School/District Administrators
District and school administrators are responsible for providing instructional leadership and developing, implementing, and evaluating district and school systems and policies. District administrators include superintendents and central administration staff responsible for finances, assessment, special education, and the like under the direction of a school board. School administrators mainly include principals and assistant principals. District and school administrators play a critical role in improving the learning environment and overall academic progress of their students. Without their leadership, creating meaningful learning environment improvements is difficult. District and school administrators, with support from the school board, introduce and promote learning environment improvements. District superintendents and central administration decide on building sizes, budget allocations, and the selection of staff. Additionally, they communicate the school district’s mission, training priorities, and promotional activities; such activities play a part in encouraging change. Within each school, the principal plays a central role in providing leadership, articulating goals and behavioral expectations of teachers, and supporting staff in developing an effective school.
