Overview The Why’s and What’s
Why do you need a Site Leadership Team?
• Operationalizes the shared part of the community school approach – shared vision, leadership, responsibility, resources, etc.
• Institutionalizes the approach, instead of based on personality
• Say it with me, “sustainability”

Overview The Why’s and What’s
So what is a Site Team?
• Unifies and guides the community school towards shared goals
• Represents major stakeholders, e.g. school, lead agency, partners, parents, students, intermediary, elected officials
• Integrated into other organization structures in the school

The Why’s and What’s Site & System Leadership

larger system?
