ARTICLE XVI. JOINT OBJECTIVES

The Board, the Superintendentand the UAA are the leadership team in the District.

When the leadership team agrees upon a specific goal, the necessary steps in implementation

should commence. Constant evaluation by the Board, the Superintendent a n d t h e UA A m u s t t a k e

place.

The Community should also be constantly made aware of progress and eventually of

completion.

Through the establishment of definite objectives which will be implemented by staff and

Administrators working in conjunction with the Superintendent and the Board, a true pattern for

progress will be established in Uniondale.

We believe the UAA should have the professional responsibility of policing its own

membership. To this end, a standing committee ofUAA members will be formed to enforce a strict code

of ethical behavior based on (but modified to meet our needs) the code of ethics of both the National

Association of Secondary School Principals and the National Association of Elementary School

Principals. The responsibility of the committee will be to work with the Board and the Superintendent

with a view toward correcting any conditions of malfeasance, misfeasance or non-feasance on the part of

any UAA member. Furthermore, it will be the function of this Ethics Committee of the UAA to

admonish or reprimand any member of the UAA who is not abiding by the standards of our

professional association.
