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:

  • Provide ongoing evaluations of a school's educational programs and their impact on student achievement.
  • 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.
