School Leadership Teams. The District and the MEA believe that collaborative decisions lead to improved student achievement. As per board policy, each school will participate in collaborative decision making, and each school shall have a Leadership Team. The school Leadership Teams will make decisions within the parameters established by the District and school’s strategic plan, school’s improvement plan, Board policy, and state and federal law. Implementation of the District’s instructional program is complex and is best accomplished when there is mutual understanding among a school’s administration and teachers, and a joint commitment to problem solving. Such an atmosphere recognizes the authority of the director and the professionalism of teachers. We believe that collaborative decisions are best, however there may be times when a school director will need to make decisions independently. 1. The full Leadership Team in each school includes the Director(s), Assistant Director(s) and all licensed staff. 2. Each school year, the full Leadership Team may determine that a smaller group would be more effective and may adjust the team as needed. The full Leadership Team will determine the composition of and any changes to the representative Leadership Team. 3. The Leadership Team will schedule and hold regular meetings, establish agendas, gather input, and share information and decisions. 4. Each school’s Leadership Team shall also attend to the specific Leadership Team responsibilities and timelines as outlined in Articles 6 and 14 of this Agreement.
