Office of the Superintendent / Overview

Office of the Superintendent

The mission of the Office of the Superintendent is to provide the overall leadership and strategic direction to the school district in conjunction with the Board of Education. With the assistance of the Executive Assistant, the Superintendent serves as the chief executive officer for the district.

The Superintendent’s Office ensures that the school district’s education and administrative functions operate efficiently and effectively. The office ensures that necessary short and long-term action plans are developed and implemented to achieve the Board of Education’s goals and expectations for the school district.

The office serves students, parents, families, businesses, and community members and as such, the Superintendent has a number of advisory councils to obtain school community input including: District Transportation Council, District Technology Council, District Administrative Team Council, Safety in the Workplace Council, and Superintendent’s Parent Advisory Council. It should be noted that not all of these councils are currently functioning in Salem because some are under development.
