The Cole Leadership Council (CLC) is how we ensure that families, students, and other stakeholders are involved in school decisions. We are grateful to have our innovation status which allows us to have such a well rounded council.
The purpose of the CLC is as follows:
Cole Leadership Council is a shared leadership group which will include 1- Principal, 1-DCTA representative, 1-paraprofessional educator, 2 teachers, 1-non teacher staff member, 2 community members and 3 parents (including one representative from an organization of parents, teachers, and students recognized by the school). As appropriate for meetings, 2 student representatives will also be members of the CLC. The staff members will be nominated and voted on by the whole faculty. If there are more than 2 community members or 3 parents who would like to be representatives on the CLC, a secret ballot vote will be sent home to families. Families will be given a week to return their votes. The team meets monthly. The CLC will make decisions based on consensus (DCTA Article 5-5-2).
The leadership team will be responsible for establishing the conditions for student learning at the school, including all requirements in state statute and the following:
