Building Leadership Team (BLT) Needs Team Members for 2010/2011 School Year.

Parent representatives are needed to serve for the 2010-11 school year on the BLT. This group is charged with collaborative decision making among staff and parents on issues such as budget development, academic achievement planning and professional development. It is a representative model with equal numbers of parents and staff members.

The BLT needs three parent members, each serving a two-year term.

If you are interested in applying for a position, you are committing yourself to one monthly meeting with a possible extra meeting when issues arrive that need to be resolved.

Applications must be submitted to the school office by 3:30pm on Friday April 16 (or via e-mail to Bev Clonch at clonch@aol.com), and include a letter indicating:

• The grade your student(s) will be in next school year and if they are Spectrum or Special Needs.
• School involvement such as volunteer activities.
• Your understanding of consensus decision making.
• How you will advocate for the interests of the group of parents you wish to represent while supporting all Lawton students.
