SCHOOL ORGANIZATIONAL TEAM
SCHOOL ORGANIZATIONAL TEAM
Each school in the Clark County School District will create a School Organizational Team which will assist the principal in making important decisions impacting the school. This team will be made up of elected licensed staff, education support professionals, parents/guardians, and students (at the secondary level), as well as one or more optional, non‐elected community members. Cultural diversity reflective of the student population should be considered.
