Board Responsibility

The board of trustees is a crown entity and is responsible for the governance of this school. The key focus of their role is the improvement of student progress and achievement.

At Lyttelton Primary School, the board of trustees is responsible for the following board-level overarching policies:

• Curriculum and Student Achievement Policy
  
• Documentation and Self-Review Policy
  
• Employer Responsibility Policy
  
• Finance and Property Management Policy
  
• Health, Safety, and Welfare Policy
  
• Legislation and Administration Policy

The board delegates the day-to-day implementation of many of its responsibilities and the supporting operational policies and procedures to the principal, but does not delegate the board's accountability.

Principal Responsibility

The principal is the educational leader, the chief executive, and an employee of the board. The principal is also a full member of the board of trustees and is the link between policy and operation.
The principal:

• is responsible for the supporting policies and procedures relating to the board-level overarching policies
  
• has discretion to manage the school's day-to-day administration (as the board delegates)
  
• may further delegate some of the responsibility to other staff members
  
• keeps the board of trustees informed of the information it relies on to carry out its own responsibilities.
