The School Leadership Team (SLT) is a group of people who develop educational policies for their school. They also make sure there are resources to support those policies.

SLTs

• 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.

The SLT Role

• An SLT is responsible for developing a school’s Comprehensive Educational Plan (CEP). 

• An SLT makes a yearly evaluation of the principal’s record of developing an effective, shared decision-making relationship with the SLT members during the year. This evaluation is given to the community district or high school superintendent.

• The SLT is not responsible for the hiring or firing of school staff. However, according to Chancellor’s Regulation C-30, the SLT must be consulted prior to the appointment of a principal or assistant principal.
