To the commenter on 6/23/10: You said: "The superindendent makes decisions the school board should because that is the way it has always been done and the community supports that." You are apparently misinformed about how schools are supposed to operate. The superintendents and principals are the educated ones, not the school board. The superintendents and principals are the ones qualified to make decisions in the best interest of what's educationally sound and appropriate for students. Not the school board. School boards, if they are functioning correctly and abide within their parameters, should be taking the advice, suggestions and recommendation of the superintendents. To not do so is called micromanaging.
