More BOE Nomenclature

So it's come to my attention that my earlier "BOE Basics" post didn't address "where does the Superintendent fit in" with the Board of Education? To further confuse matters, there's a sign outside the Municipal Building that says "Board of Education." The people who work at the "board offices" at 379 South Branch Road are actually part of the "central administration," aka "district office," "district administration," "central office," etc. This includes the Superintendent, the Business Administrator, business office staff, human resources staff, supervisors, etc. The central office is sometimes referred to as the "Board of Education" but that is incorrect, and super confusing.

I really liked how a friend distinguished the two: there's the "paid" BOE (aka central administration) and the "volunteer" BOE (9 elected board members). Hope this helps!
