GENERAL BACKGROUND:
The School Governance Team (SGT) is a distributed decision-making group responsible for building a collaborative instructional vision and oversees the improvement of the school's instructional program.
The scope of authority for SGT includes, but is not limited to, a change in the school's preparatory time subject emphasis, the school-wide student behavior support plan, staff dress codes, start/end times that do not result in additional district expenses, and the elimination of discretionary SDEA (teacher union) bargaining unit positions for reasons other than a decline in enrollment.
Decisions around the instructional program, including, but not limited to, might involve changing a school's instructional program focus (such as the hypothetical example of a school implementing a language immersion program or changing a magnet school's emphasis) or organizing and staffing school programs in new ways.
