Distinguishing Characteristics The Chief Business Officer classification is characterized by its District-wide administrative responsibility for the fiscal integrity and operational infrastructure of the District, exercised through subordinate director-level classifications and with delegated authority. It is distinguished from the Superintendent in that the Superintendent maintains responsibility for the District's entire educational program and overall organizational performance. It is further distinguished from the director-level classifications reporting to it, including the Director of Fiscal Services, the Director of Maintenance, Operations and Transportation, the Director of Technology, and the Director of Food Services, in that each director is accountable for a single assigned functional area, while the Chief Business Officer integrates fiscal, business, and operational functions across the District, allocates resources among them, and holds final administrative accountability for their combined performance.
