The Hallsville R-IV Board of Education believes that the legislation of policy is its most important function. Furthermore, the Board delegates to the Superintendent the responsibility for the execution of policy and the development of all necessary regulations to effectively implement the same. Regulations developed by the professional staff may be presented to the Board for their review and approval.

This delineation of responsibility provides the Superintendent freedom to manage the District within the framework of Board policy and frees the Board to devote its time to policy making and appraisal functions.

Within this framework of various responsibilities, good communication is essential between the Board and Superintendent for the smooth and efficient operation of the District.
