Central Administration is the leading or preseding body or group of people, and the highest administrative department who oversee all lower departments of an organization. In most cases, a school or school district will have a leading group of people as a part of Central Administration. In a school district, these terms may include a Superintendent (education), Chief operating officer, School Headmaster, and/or other leadership roles in one or more specific department. People on Central Administration are usually appointed by a board, such as a Board of education. They are comparable to positions such as a Chief executive officer. They rank over all other administration, requiring leadership skills. Central Administrative Staff have an executive oversight and supervision on school and/or school district administration.
