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

- Be responsible for developing a school's Comprehensive Educational Plan (CEP).
- Play an important role in school-based decision-making.
- Help to make school cultures more collaborative.
