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.

There are three members of the school community who must be members of the SLT:

1. Principal

2. Parent Association/Parent-Teacher Association President

3. United Federation of Teachers Chapter Leader

The other members are elected parents and staff members. The SLT must have an equal number of parents and staff.

The exact composition of a school’s SLT is stated in the team’s bylaws.

An SLT should have a minimum of 10 members, and a maximum of 17 members. The exact number of members on a school’s SLT is stated in the team’s bylaws. Regardless of the total number, the SLT must have an equal number of parents and staff members.
