SGT: The purpose of the Site Governance Team is to empower the staff, parents and students – to make long-range decisions and changes that will promote student academic, social and physical growth. This is accomplished through shared decision making. Shared decision making allows for flexibility and assures accountability. It fosters positive communication, collaboration and positive consensus. The goal of shared decision-making is to improve the quality of the learning experience and the learning outcomes of students, to improve the quality of education, to enhance working conditions of employees and improve communications and involvement of the parents and community. Meetings are held approximately once every two months from 3:50-4:50p.m.
