School Leadership Teams meet at least once a month during the school year at a time convenient for the parent members of the team. SLTs establish many of their own bylaws and procedures, so each school may have different policies in place for the election and selection of members, meeting times, filling vacancies, number of members, etc.
An SLT is responsible for developing the school’s Comprehensive Educational Plan (CEP) and ensuring that it is aligned with the school-based budget. SLTs also provide an annual assessment to the community district or high school superintendent of the principal’s record of developing an effective shared decision-making relationship with the SLT members during the year.
