§ 12853 Agency Secretary Delegation Authority

• •Big bosses in government agencies can pick certain workers to have the same powers as a department head.
• •These workers can make important decisions, just like the main boss.
• •The boss has to write it down to give someone these powers.

The boss of a school district picks a principal to make big decisions, like hiring teachers.

The boss writes it down, and now the principal can do things only the boss could do before.
