School Leadership Team
The School Leadership Team (SLT) brings families, teachers and administrators together to collaborate in shaping our children’s education. SLT is made up of school staff and parent leaders. The three mandatory members of the SLT are the School Principal, the PTA president, and the UFT Chapter Leader. You can learn more about the SLT’s role here: https://www.schools.nyc.gov/get-involved/families/school-leadership-team.
SLT Meetings are open public meetings and all are welcome to attend, although only members of the SLT or pre-approved speakers on the agenda may participate or pre-submit an agenda topic by emailing parent representatives Keisha Richardson-Newsome and Samara Gaev.

of Education (DOE) Guidelines
Every NYC public school is required to have an SLT that includes a balanced number of parents and teachers. CEPs are public documents, and the 2025 BE CEP will be available when the DOE publishes it.
From the DOE website, Chancellor’s Regs: There must be an SLT in every New York City Public School. SLTs play a significant role in creating a structure for school-based decision making and shaping the path to a collaborative school culture. SLTs are a vehicle for developing school-based educational policies and ensuring that resources are aligned to implement those policies. Functioning in a collaborative manner, SLTs assist in the evaluation and assessment of a school’s educational programs and their affect on student achievement.
