School Leadership team

The School Leadership Team is a school-based organization composed of equal numbers of parents and staff (teachers and administrators). State law mandates that all NYC public schools establish an SLT. BEES SLT meets once a month and determines the structure for school-based planning and shared decision-making. Some SLT projects include the Comprehensive Education plan, which sets annual goals for the school in all areas and focuses on developing education strategies for improvement, parent informational resource materials and more. SLT members work collaboratively with each other, chairing and/or serving on team sub-committees, with the goal of effectively resolving concerns and addressing the needs of all students. The SLT is not a PTA activity, and it is not a fundraising entity. Elections for the parent SLT positions take place at the end of the school year, typically at the May PTA meeting. Parents serve for a two-year term.
