What is the School Leadership
Team?
SLT ByLaws (click here...)
The School Leadership Team (STL)
at PS 144 is our school-based group that works together to
determine the school's educational direction. The
SLT is made up of
representatives from the Parents, School Administration, Staff
and Teachers. They meet at least once a month, and
determine the structure for school-based planning and shared
decision-making. The core responsibility of the SLT is to
Develop and Review the school's Comprehensive Educational Plan
(CEP).
Together this team works collaboratively to make decisions
regarding the school's educational programs and their impact on
student achievement. SLTs
are strongly encouraged to solicit input from various school
community constituencies in order to ensure that all voices are
heard regarding the needs of students.
Why would you want to know about
the discussions and decisions being made at the SLT meetings?
The SLT makes decisions
that will directly impact your child's educations at PS 144.
How do I give my concerns to the
SLT?
You can seek out a parent representative on the
SLT to voice your concerns.
The SLT does not discuss
individuals at their meetings. The SLT
discusses the broader issues of the educational
programs at PS 144 and any concerns associated with the CEP
How do I join my school’s SLT?
