A questionnaire which school districts in California were asked to fill out in an effort to determine the scope of responsibility and authority they feel is delegated to the district superintendent by the governing board is presented. The form asks them to check whether the superintendent has (1) complete authority; (2) authority, but must inform; (3) authority, but board action required; or (4) no authority, board makes decision. Categories include planning, personnel, support services, curriculum and instruction, budget and finance, and community relations. (RM)
