STUDENT LEADERSHIP TEAM

The School Leadership Team (SLT) is a collaborative group of parents, teachers, staff, and our Principal that is mandated by State Law to represent all the various constituencies of the school.

The SLT meets monthly to discuss issues that affect our community, such as instruction matters, communications issues, how well our community is functioning, and other school-wide questions.

The SLT works with the principal to write our annual Comprehensive Education Plan.  The SLT also serves as a meeting ground for teachers, parents, staff, and the principal to sit together and wrestle as a group with that year's key concerns in education and other school-wide policy issues.

The SLT has a box in the lobby for suggestions, comments, and questions.

SLT Information

Members and Elections

Members serve a two-year term. Teachers elect the teacher members. Parents elect parent members during yearly PTA elections.  The team must have an equal number of staff and parent members. The number of seats on the SLT varies from year to year.  This year, our team has 14 members. The school Principal, United Federation of Teachers chapter leader, and the PTA President are required to serve on the SLT.

Parents or guardians interested in suggesting a topic for the agenda should send an email to TBD.  Meetings follow the New York State Open Meetings Law and are open to the public.  If you would like to observe a meeting, please email TBD to join.
