School Leadership Team

SLT

The School Leadership Team (SLT) is comprised of elected parents and teachers who together develop the CEP (Comprehensive Educational Plan) for that school year. This cross-section of team members also work with the school administration and PTA to ensure that the appropriate resources are available to follow through on this and other policies throughout the year. In addition they:

Provide ongoing evaluations of a school’s educational programs and their impact on student achievement.
Play an important role in school-based decision-making
Help to make school cultures more collaborative.
