leadership council
The Local School Leadership Council (LSLC) is a shared-decision-making body composed of the Principal, the UTLA chair, 7 educators, 5 parents, 1 student, and 1 office staff. The following items are under the purview of the LSLC: staff professional development program, locally developed student discipline guidelines and code of student conduct, schedules of school activities/events and special schedules, guidelines for use of school equipment/copiers, and local budgetary matters such as instructional materials. Members serve a one-year term, and meetings are in-person once/month on Mondays from 3:45-5:45 pm. Anyone in the GALA community may attend LSLC meetings, whether you are a member or not.
You can find information about Local School Leadership Councils in Article XXVII in the LAUSD/UTLA contract on page 133 HERE.
