headmaster and/or headmaster committee

Explanation:
When my child gets a note on her rapport from the Schulleitung, it normally means a note from the school's director, or group of teachers including the Director, i.e. the Headmaster, mostly from the class teacher represnting the Headmaster/Director.

It could also include the administration and the parents' association - the headmaster' representatives consisting of his deputy, the administration, the parent-teachers' association and the class teacher.

2 days9 hrs confidence:

school administration

Explanation:
When referring to the principal and his cohorts, we can refer to them as the school administration in the U.S., but this would apply not just to the principal in case that's what your looking for. If you mean someone from the administration, that could be a school administrator.

This is a pretty general term however, so I don't know if it fits the bilol here.
