Administrative Prerogative. In exceptional circumstances, the administration may reject the recommendation of the Personnel Committee if it has just and sufficient reason to believe that this assignment would be not in the best interest of the program in question. Such a case may arise if, for example, in the past, the chosen candidate did not adequately fulfill the requirements of a given contract or if her or his service record is unsatisfactory. Personal preference would not be considered sufficient reason to reject a recommendation. The Centre shall
Administrative Prerogative. The intent of this handbook is to outline policies and guidelines that apply to students and their parents in relation to working together with teachers and administration for the student to reach their fullest potential. Its purpose is to clarify school policies and the responsibilities of both the Parent/Guardian and the school. The signature of both parties in the appropriate spaces on the registration and acknowledgement form indicate that the following conditions involved in the education of your child are understood and agreed upon between the school and Parent/Guardian of the child. PBCA reserves the right to exercise its administrative prerogative in responding to any situation. These responses may include, but are not limited to, parent conferences, suspension and/or expulsion and required counseling. Administration reserves the right to make adjustments to these policies at any time in order to improve the quality of PBCA programs.
Administrative Prerogative. In certain circumstances, when households fail to apply for free or reduced price meals, the nutritional needs of students who are obviously at an economic disadvantage may be addressed by local offices. Using administrative prerogative, local officials may complete an application for a student known to be eligible if the household had applied. This judgmental option acknowledges the various reasons that a family may fail to apply for free or reduced price meals, such as lack of understanding, fear of authority, alien status, substance abuse, etc. To exercise this option properly, an application must be completed on behalf of the student, based on the best family size and income information available. The source of this information must be noted on the application. Exhaustive prior efforts must be made by the SFA to obtain a completed application from the parent or guardian and efforts must be documented. The names of all household members, a social security number, or an adult signature need not be secured. Instead, the name of the students, household size, estimated family income, and the administrator’s signature must be provided. The household must be notified of the student’s approval status for free or reduced price meals. These applications should be excluded from the verification process. This option must be used judiciously and only after repeated efforts to obtain applications from families have been unsuccessful. It is to be used on an individual basis and not to provide eligibility determinations for large numbers of students. It also may not be used when family income is above the eligibility guidelines, even though the children are not coming to school with a meal or money. Family economic status must remain the criterion for administratively making the decision to place the student on free or reduced price meals.
Administrative Prerogative. Any immediate supervisor shall have the right to extend to professional employees under his supervision courtesies and special privileges and/or dispensations so long as all professional employees of his staff are treated equitably. Prior to such courtesies and special privileges being taken, the immediate supervisor or designee must give approval. If a supervisor determines that an individual has abused a grant of special privilege, the supervisor may decline to extend further courtesies and special privileges. Complaints relating to this section are not subject to the grievance procedure.
