In schools that serve students in kindergarten through grade eight, a Community Superintendent oversees and supports the schools in each school district. He or she performs statutory duties for each school, including appointing principals in district schools, acting as rating officer for principals in the district, approving teacher tenure decisions, and approving school budgets. The Superintendent also communicates regularly with all parent associations in the district and serves as a liaison to the Community Education Councils (CECs).

For high schools (including most K-12 schools), the High School Superintendent oversees and supports schools as assigned by the Chancellor. High School Superintendents perform statutory duties for schools, including appointing principals, approving teacher tenure decisions, and acting as rating officer for principals. These Superintendents also serve as liaisons to the citywide High School Education Council.
