As chief executive officer, designated by the Board, the superintendent 1 shall have the authority 
and responsibility to administer the Northwest Regional Education Service District (NWRESD)
except where the law designates that responsibility to others. The superintendent may issue
regulations, consistent with state statute and policies of the Board, which shall be binding on the
employees and students of the NWRESD. The superintendent is responsible, under the Board’s
direction, for general supervision of all NWRESD programs, services and personnel. The
superintendent shall have the responsibility and authority to maintain and update position
titles/job descriptions. The superintendent is accountable to the Board for these responsibilities.

The Board may not direct the superintendent to take any action that conflicts with a local, state or
federal law 2 that applies to education service districts or take an adverse employment action against the superintendent for complying with such laws.

The superintendent may delegate to other personnel any powers and duties imposed upon the
superintendent by Board policies or by vote of the Board. Delegation of power or duty will not relieve the superintendent of responsibility for action taken under such delegation.
