• The link between the organization and the community of Anglophone North School District.
• Written governing policies which, at the broadest levels, address:

a)  End Results: Those things the District Education Council wishes to achieve and   for what reasons.

b)  Governance Process: Description of how the Council conceives, carries out and monitors its own task.

c)  Council-Staff Relationship:  How authority is delegated and its proper use monitored; the Superintendent’s role, authority and accountability.

d)  Executive Limitations:  Constraints on the Superintendent’s authority that establish the prudence and ethical boundaries within which all Superintendent activity and decisions must take place.

• Ensuring that the ends are the focus of organizational performance.
