School Leadership Team (SLT)

The School Leadership Team (SLT) is comprised of an equal number of parent and staff members, five from each constituency. The mandatory members are the school’s Principal, the PTA President, or one of the Co-Presidents, and the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) chapter leader. The remaining team members consist of three elected teacher representatives, and four elected parent representatives. Team members, with the exception of mandatory members, serve a two-year term.

The SLT is responsible for developing the school’s annual Comprehensive Educational Plan (CEP) and ensuring the school budget is aligned with the CEP goals.

There are currently two positions open for parent representatives to the PS 281 PTA.  Responsibilities include attending monthly meetings, collaborating with other SLT members, and acting as liaisons to the PTA.

SLT members are elected to two-year terms. There are no term limits.

Elections will be held during the first general PTA meeting on Tuesday, September 18.

All parents/guardians are eligible to hold office, unless they are employees of the school. All parents/guardians are eligible to vote in the election. Nominations for all offices will be taken from the floor, and the election will directly follow the nomination process.  Incoming parents are encouraged to participate.

Please email pta@ps281.org if you are interested in one of these positions.
