PS11 SLT Overview

The School Leadership Team SLT is a collaborative team made up of an equal number of faculty and parents. Members include the Principal, Assistant Principal, UFT Representative, and PTA President (or their appointee) and our Community Based Organization (CBO) representative, in addition to five parent members and three elected members of the PS11 faculty.

The PS11 SLT has two primary responsibilities. One is to evaluate the academic needs of PS11 students and produce a Comprehensive Education Plan (CEP) that proposes ways to meet those needs, in alignment with the school budget for the following school year. The other is to monitor whether the current CEP is being implemented, and to ensure that proper resources are allocated to implement the current CEP. To view the current CEP, click here.

In addition to these responsibilities, the PS11 SLT also chooses to organize Family Workshops that foster parental involvement, community building and provide valuable information and tools to students, parents and guardians throughout the school year.

How to raise an issue with the SLT
Although PS11 SLT meetings are open to the entire school community, according to SLT by-laws, observers may not participate in discussions during SLT meetings. However, if you have an item you would like the SLT to address or if you would like to attend an SLT meeting, please contact the SLT (at least one week in advance) at ps11slt@gmail.com or by calling Kristin Sewell at 212-645-0492.
