IN THE UNITED STATES Many state Departments Of Education in the United States refer to their administrators as superintendents. Generally, school district superintendents are selected by a School Board of a local School District . They are typically given overall responsibility for personnel selection and appointment, preparation of operating budgets, and implementation of School policies and regulations. As the senior administrator of a school district, the superintendent primarily supervises Public School s in the district; evaluates performance of teachers and, in some cases, recruits and dismisses school staff; and acts as a check on the power of school Principal s. Most states give school superintendents membership on the board of education of their school district, but they usually cannot vote as members of the board. OTHER COUNTRIES The term 'superintendent' is rarely used for education in the United Kingdom (possibly to avoid confusion with the Police Rank ); in most Local Education Authorities the equivalent title is Chief Education Officer .
