Local School Advisory Teams 

Introduction

LSATs are an integral part of ensuring strong connections within every local school community.

The Local School Advisory Team (LSAT) is a group of elected and appointed members that exists for every DCPS school. The team (formerly the Local School Restructuring Teams) consists of parents, teachers, non-instructional school staff, a community member, and in some cases students, to advise the principal on matters that promote high expectations and high achievement for all students.

Updated Guidelines

After a process that included lengthy consultations with many parents, teachers, the Governance Committee, and the WTU, updated Local School Advisory Team guidelines are here at last.

Updated guidelines are only one step in a larger revamp process. The other parts are professional development for principals, and continuing professional development for school advisory board members.
