School Leadership Team

How does the composition of BSGE's SLT affect its decisions?

The SLT is a vital communication link within a school and between the school and its larger community. The SLT is responsible for evaluating the quality of its school’s educational program and its effect on student achievement.

What role do students and community-based organizations play in the SLT's decision-making process?

The School Leadership Team (SLT) is the primary vehicle for parents to work with teachers and the principal to establish school priorities, decide how the budget is spent and evaluate a school’s progress. The Principal, PTA President and UFT Chapter Leader or their designees serve on the SLT.  The remaining members of the team include other parents and staff from the school, and may include students (a minimum of two students is required at the high school level) and community-based organizations.  Parents are elected by the PTA to serve on the SLT and have the opportunity to directly influence how a school operates.
