This week we will hold our first School Improvement Team Meeting. At this meeting, staff will have the opportunity to nominate themselves for a leadership position on our team. While some might see it as ONE MORE THING, I truly see it as an opportunity for our school to take one more step towards greatness. I hope that each of you will reflect on the duties of members of the School Improvement Team and step up if you feel you have something positive to bring to the table. I have also included a video clip that shows what an effective School Improvement Team can do for a school. Please email me if you have any questions about the SIT or bring the questions to the meeting tomorrow.
NC State Law on SIT
School Improvement Team

school improvement team and that the composition of the team complies with G.S. §115C-105.27
(a). (See also GS §115C-288 (l) – Powers and Duties of Principal.) G.S. §115C-105.27 (a) directs
schools to establish a School Improvement Team (SIT) to develop a plan to improve student
performance. School improvement teams shall consist of the following members:
the principal of the school;
representatives of the assistant principals;

representatives of instructional support personnel;
representatives of teacher assistants assigned to the building; and
representatives of parents of children enrolled in the school.Representatives of the assistant principals, instructional personnel, instructional support
personnel, and teacher assistants shall be elected by their respective groups by secret ballot.
Participation in the school improvement planning process by the personnel noted above is a legal
requirement. Principals do not have discretion to choose school improvement team
representatives.
