School Leadership Team (SLT)

School Leadership Teams (SLT’s) are vehicles for developing school-based educational policies, and ensuring that resources are aligned to implement those policies. SLT’s assist in the evaluation and assessment of a school’s educational programs and their effects on student achievement.

SLT’s play a significant role in creating a structure for school-based decision making, and shaping the path to a collaborative school culture.

New York State Education Law Section 2590-h requires every new York City Public school to have a School Leadership Team. In addition, Chancellor’s Regulation A – 655 (CR A-655) establishes guidelines to ensure the formation of effective SLT’s in every New York City public School.
