“
The superintendent, as the CEO, is charged with the day-to-day responsibility of the district. The superintendent is not a member of the board itself. He serves as a professional educational adviser to the board.
„
The Role of a Superintendent
Members of the Gahanna-Jefferson Board of Education are elected by the community to
establish district priorities, policies and to evaluate the outcomes of District
operations. The board appoints a superintendent to ensure
academic achievement for
every Gahanna-Jefferson student - not only for today’s opportunities, but those on the horizon as well.
On behalf of the board of education, the superintendent works to:
- Determine the educational needs and aspirations of
every Gahanna-Jefferson student, staff member and the entire community — and
how to best engage each;
- Identify educational and socioeconomic trends with an impact on District operations or goals; and,
- Provide overall leadership while developing sound practices to manage the
day-to-day operations of the district.
GJPS Superintendent/CEO Francis R. Scruci works collaboratively with GJPS Treasurer/Chief Financial Officer Julio Valladares, who recommends and
manages an annual budget based upon the parameters also set by the
board of education.
