  • Respond to emergencies and follow established CiTi BOCES safety and emergency procedures.
  • Ensure established building and program procedures are followed.
  • Collaborate with other CiTi BOCES administrators and support personnel as needed.
  • Provide continuity of leadership during the Principal's absence.
