School Based Management Team

The School Based Management Team (SBMT) is a committee comprised of representatives from each of the school stakeholder groups - administrators, parents representing our PTSCO organization, teachers elected by the faculty, teacher aides/assistants, students, and community members.  The key charge of the SBMT is to seek broad-based agreement among all the school stakeholders on activities, practices or policies that significantly impact and improve student achievement.  The SBMT is also the group that must ultimately sign off on and submit the New York State-required Comprehensive Education Plan (CEP).
