What is the School Leadership Team?

The School Leadership Team, known as the SLT, is a team of parents, teachers and administrators who work collaboratively to make decisions regarding the school's educational programs and their impact on student achievement. The team is comprised of the Principal, United Federation of Teachers Chapter Leader (U.F.T.) Chapter Leader, and Parent Teacher Association (PTA) President along additional parent and staff members.

SLT Responsibilities:

- To develop and review the school's Comprehensive Educational Plan (CEP)

- To develop a budget aligned with the CEP

- To operate in accordance with the by laws and Chancellor’s Regulation 655

When and where does the SLT meet?

The SLT meets twice a month. Meetings are open to the public. The Google Meet link to join is on our school calendar under events.

How do SLTs make decisions?

SLTs must use consensus-based decision making. In this type of process, all participants contribute to and help shape the final decision. By listening closely to one another, members come up with solutions and proposals that work for the group.

This approach is empowering because each member has the opportunity to influence team decisions. When all members are able to voice their opinions and concerns, they are more likely to stay invested in and connected to the work of the team. This sets the stage for greater cooperation and mutual respect.
