School Leadership Team (SLT)

UPCOMING SLT MEETINGS 24-25

4/7, 4/28, 5/12, 6/2

 

What is the role of an SLT?

An SLT is responsible for developing a school’s Comprehensive Educational Plan (CEP). The SLT is not responsible for the hiring or firing of school staff. However, consistent with Chancellor’s Regulation C-30, the SLT must be consulted prior to the appointment of a principal or assistant principal candidate to the school.

An SLT provides an annual assessment to the community district or high school Superintendent regarding the principal’s record of developing an effective, shared decision-making relationship with the SLT members during the year

Who is eligible to serve on an SLT?

There are three members of the school community who are mandatory members of the SLT. They are:

(1) Principal

(2) Parent Association/Parent-Teacher Association President

(3) United Federation of Teachers Chapter Leader

The remainder of the team is comprised of elected parents and staff members.

The SLT must have an equal number of parents and staff. An SLT may also include students (a minimum of two students is required in high school SLTs) and representatives from community based organizations (CBOs) that work with the school. Students and CBO representatives do not count when determining whether a team should have an equal number of parents and staff.

The exact composition of a school’s SLT is set forth in the team’s bylaws.

How many people serve on an SLT?

An SLT should have a minimum of 10 members, and a maximum of 17 members. The exact number of members on a school’s SLT is set forth in the team’s bylaws.

Regardless of the total number, the SLT must have an equal number of parents and staff members.
