What is a Local School Governance Team? 

One of the driving forces behind Charter System status is the importance of local decision-making to maximize educational opportunities for children.  Therefore, each campus has its own Local School Governance Team.  Comprised of school leadership, teachers, parents and community members, they monitor the goals of the school improvement plan in an effort to increase student achievement and school improvement.  This team serves as advocates for their respective schools and makes recommendations to the superintendent.
