Building Leadership Team (BLT)

What is the BLT?

The Building Leadership Team (BLT) is a site-based management team that addresses school policy, goals, and operations. It is comprised of our principal and teachers and parents representing the various school-age groups. The BLT meets monthly to discuss and resolve current issues.

How Does the BLT Help Parents and Students?

Meetings are open to all in the Lawton community, so feel free to attend. Please contact your BLT representative with any questions or concerns that you would like to have addressed at BLT meetings.
