What is a School Leadership Team (SLT)?

The School Leadership Team (SLT) is a group of people who develop educational policies for their school. The SLT  provides their school community with ongoing evaluations of a school’s educational programs and their impact on student achievement. It plays an important role in school-based decision-making and helps to make school cultures more collaborative. There are three members of the school community who must be on of the SLT: Principal, PTA President and the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) Chapter Leader. All other members are elected parents and staff. The SLT must have an equal number of parents and staff.
