S.L.T. School Leadership Team

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

SLTs 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 for- formation of effective SLTs in every New York City public school.
