What does SLT stand for?
School Leadership Team! SLT is a DOE mandated collaborative team made up of an equal number of faculty and parents. Members include the Principal, Assistant Principal, UFT Representative, PTA appointee, our Community Based Organization (CBO) representative, and elected parents and PS11 faculty.
Why is the SLT super important?
The SLT:
- Â Evaluates the academic needs of PS11 students and produces a Comprehensive Education Plan (CEP) that proposes ways to meet those needs, in alignment with the school budget for the following school year.Â
- Monitors whether the current CEP is being implemented, and ensures proper resources are allocated. The current CEP is available here!
- Organizes Family Workshops (like the recent math workshop!) that foster parental involvement, community building and provide valuable information and tools to students, parents and guardians throughout the school year. They also consider enrichment proposal from the school community (like the Young Artists Program!).
The SLT sounds so cool! How do I join?
SLT parent elections will be held at the next PTA meeting, this Thursday, June 12th! To run for one of 3 open spots, be prepared to speak about yourself and your interest for 1 minute or, if unable to attend, send your remarks to [email protected] to read for you. Please be aware that the term for each member is 2 years and requires a time commitment of at least one 2-hour meeting per month in person directly following the school day. Members may miss only 2 meetings per calendar year. For a full understanding of the commitment, please review the SLT Bylaws.
I still have questions…
Understandable. SLT members are very curious and engaged!
