Within each county, a district school ________ and the juvenile probation department may enter into a written interagency agreement to share information about juvenile offenders.

Within each county, a district school ________ and the juvenile probation department may enter into a written interagency agreement to share information about juvenile offenders.

• A. Principal
• B. Superintendent
• C. Counselor
• D. Trustee

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is who has the authority to formally sign an interagency agreement on behalf of the school district. The district school superintendent is the chief executive officer of the district and is empowered to negotiate and enter into formal agreements with other agencies, such as the juvenile probation department, including agreements to share information about juvenile offenders. This role carries the authority to bind the district in contracts and formal arrangements, provided they comply with applicable laws and privacy protections. A principal operates at the individual school level and does not typically have authority to bind the entire district. A counselor handles student services but does not have signatory power to enter district-wide agreements. A trustee (board member) sets policy and may authorize others to execute agreements, but the actual signing authority is usually delegated to the superintendent.
