SLT Members
There are three members of the school community who must be members of the SLT:
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. An SLT can also include students (a minimum of two students is required in high school SLTs) and representatives from community-based organizations (CBOs) that work with the school. Students and CBO representatives do not count when determining whether a team has an equal number of parents and staff. The exact composition of a school’s SLT is stated in the team’s bylaws.

The Role of the SLT
SLT Decision Making
SLTs must use consensus-based decision making. In this type of process, all participants contribute to and help shape the final decision. By listening closely to one another, members come up with solutions and proposals that work for the group. This approach is empowering because each member has the opportunity to influence team decisions. When all members are able to voice their opinions and concerns, they are more likely to stay invested in and connected to the work of the team. This sets the stage for greater cooperation and mutual respect. |

Guidance on Public Meetings and School Visits
School Leadership Teams (SLTs) and Citywide/Community Education Councils (CCECs) are essential elements of our educational governance structure and ensure collaborative decision- making in school-level and district-level policy.

2023 -24 Comprehensive Educational Plan (CEP)
What is the CEP?
The Comprehensive Educational Plan (CEP) is the primary document for sharing a school’s ongoing improvement planning efforts. SLTs are required to develop an annual school CEP that is within the limits of the school-based budget and includes goals and objectives that meet the needs of the students and the school’s accountability status requirements.
The Comprehensive Educational Plan is meant to be a tool to guide continuous improvement planning–to support schools in engaging their staff, parents, students, and community partners in identifying and ranking school needs; setting measurable improvement goals; selecting appropriate strategies to improve student academic performance; monitoring progress toward meeting annual goals; and communicating these efforts to the broader school community.
