AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•A person in charge of a case can gather evidence or ask someone else to do it for them.
•Any decision made by that person must be approved by the board to become official.
•Once approved, the decision is treated as the board's final decision.

Example

If a teacher is investigating a fight between two students, they can ask another teacher to help gather information.

The teacher in charge can make a decision about what happened, but it only becomes official when the principal (the board) agrees and files it.
