He is a teacher. He counsels with and advises the Board of Education. He represents the school personnel in professional and welfare matters in dealing with the Board of Education and in the community. His position requires that he exert educa- tional leadership, state his educational point of View clearly in the community, and lead in the improvement of instruc- tion with confidence in his position. In the thirteen years that Mr. Graff has served as superintendent, the school system has experienced more growth and adjustment to change than was experi- enced in all of its previous history. The successful adjustment of the school pro- gram to meet the needs of a changing society can be attributed in a large part to the leadership of Superintendent Graff. In the decision-making in which he is in- volved, he continuously relates one basic consideration: Will it improve the edu- cational opportunities and experience for the young people both present and future?', , , ll
