DISTRICT ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT
This chapter of the report reviews the organization and management of the Fort Bend Independent School District (FBISD) in five major sections.
- A. Governance
- B. Planning
- C. District Management
- D. School Management and Site-Based Decision-Making
- E. Policies and Procedures
The organization and management of a school district requires cooperation between elected members of the Board of Trustees and staff of the district. The board's role is to set goals and objectives for the district in both instructional and operational areas, determine the policies that will govern the district, approve the plans to implement those policies and provide the funding necessary to carry out the plans.
The staff is responsible for managing the day-to-day implementation of the plans approved by the board and recommending modifications to ensure the district operates effectively. The superintendent, as the chief executive officer of the district, recommends the staffing levels and the amount of resources necessary to operate and accomplish the board's goals and objectives.
