One’s calling to leadership ministry in the role of local conference superintendent of schools/vice president for education is both sacred and unique, because its challenges are often considerable, yet richly rewarding. A superintendent’s work, directly and/or indirectly, affects the institutional health of a wide range of learning communities, promotes the professional development of educators with intentionality, and indirectly facilitates what students experience in classrooms across the local conference. In short, there is no other leadership ministry quite like that of conference superintendent. Superintendents Duties: • curriculum needs and requirements. • Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC). • employment policies. • establishing and closing of schools. • financial information (understanding/developing budgets, audits, and financial statements). • graduation requirements—elementary and secondary. • Home and School Association—role and function. • legal issues. • organizational structure of junior and senior academies. • personnel management. http://adventisteducation.org/superintendents-handbook/index.html
