LSAT Meets Weds. Feb 3 @ 5:00pm

The LSAT February 3, 2021 meeting will mark a return to our traditional format. Because we are governed by the Open Meetings Act, all LSAT meetings are open to the school community to observe.  Guest participation will be limited to the chat function so that the LSAT parent, teacher, WTU, and staff representatives may refer to it throughout the meeting to better understand their constituencies while we operate in this virtual environment.

The LSAT advises the principal on matters such as the school’s Comprehensive School Plan (CSP), the allocation of school resources, the organization of the school, curriculum options, budget decisions, priorities and consideration for staffing patterns and the selection of personnel, and the overall monitoring of student progress, school culture, and family engagement.

LSAT’s are a key lever to increasing transparency at DCPS and ensuring decisions affecting school communities are made collaboratively with the help of a diverse group of school stakeholders,

5:00-5:30 pm LSAT Board hosts DCPS representatives for an information session regarding the reappointment of Interim-Principal Isaac.
