SLT stands for School Leadership Team. It is a group of people who develop educational policies for their school and ensure that there are resources to support those policies. The SLT is responsible for developing the schools Comprehensive Educational Plan (CEP), which includes the schools goals and objectives, and ensures that it is aligned with the schools budget. The team also assists in evaluating and assessing the schools educational programs and their effects on student achievement. The SLT is composed of administrators, teachers, and parents, who are elected for two-year terms. An SLT should have a minimum of 10 members and a maximum of 17 members, with an equal number of parents and staff members. An SLT can also include students (a minimum of two students is required in high school SLTs) and representatives from community-based organizations (CBOs) that work with the school. Students and CBO representatives do not count when determining whether a team has an equal number of parents and staff. SLTs are considered public bodies and must adhere to the Open Meetings Law, which provides that every meeting of a public body shall be open to the general public.
