Seeking Candidates for the School Leadership Team

Are you interested in getting more deeply involved in developing educational policies at P.S. 20, and the decision-making that ensures that the school is best aligned to achieve its academic goals? 

We are currently seeking nominations for two P.S. 20 family members (parent, grandparent, and/or guardian) to join the School Leadership Committee, working with Ms Blyden and others as a kind of advisory committee for the school. If you are interested or have any questions, please email board@ps20.org.

The School Leadership Team (SLT) consists of PS 20 family members (parents, grandparents, guardians), staff members and Admins. Members are elected for two-year positions by their peer group (i.e. parent members are elected by the parent body, during a PTA meeting), and then meet monthly to read, review, and discuss the school’s Comprehensive Education Plan (CEP).

The CEP is a set of goals individualized for our school based on data collected by the DOE, such as attendance, test scores, etc. The CEP is a living document, meaning it grows and changes throughout the year with the DOE and SLT’s input. When we look at the goals, we work collaboratively to find the best possible ways to meet the goals with our unique community in mind.

The PTA will vote on nominees and elect new SLT members at our PTA General Membership meeting on Thursday, October 19, 2023.
