School Leadership Team (SLT)
|
The SLT of The Spruce Street School, P.S. 397, exists to ensure that all constituents have an advocate working in a thoughtful collaborative manner to help determine the key aspects of our school’s educational framework, resource allocation and administration.
Our SLT attempts to create a transparent structure for school-based decision making and to shape the path to a collaborative school culture. The SLT is made up of 10-17 person team, consisting of an equal number of parents and staff members. We are a vehicle for implementing school specific educational policies and ensuring that resources are aligned to implement those policies. Functioning in a collaborative manner, the SLT assists in the evaluation and assessment of a school’s educational programs and their affect on student achievement. Meetings are held monthly during the school year and while members are expected to actively participate and represent their constituencies, all parents and teachers are invited to observe meetings and have the ability to request speaking time to address important issues. Meetings are posted on the school website and details about current members, procedures and roles can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions below. All parents and teacher are welcome to observe SLT meetings, which are held in the school library.
To sign up to speak at the SLT meeting or to have your questions read in the meeting please email us up to 7 days prior to the meeting. SLT Meeting Schedule can be found on the
