DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

The Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent reports to the Superintendent and receives limited direction on all but the most sensitive, complex and controversial assignments. An employee in this class must possess good knowledge of District procedures, personnel and organization, public relations skills, and secretarial skills. The incumbent regularly has contact with Board Members, management, community groups, local businesses, elected officials, and the District's legal counsel. The consequence of error is exceptionally high such as improperly releasing confidential data, failure to properly post agendas or list agenda items, and improperly retaining legal documents. The class of Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent is distinguished from the class of Executive Secretary in that the latter does not have responsibility for the full development of the Board of Education materials nor does he/she have the degree of access to the level of personnel or confidential data. Further, the Executive Secretary reports to a Cabinet-level administrator who, in turn, reports directly to the Superintendent whose office is managed by the Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent.
