The Instructional Leadership Team (ILT) is designed to share instructional leadership decisions to improve student achievement. Pleasant Ridge Montessori is a team-based school. Team based schools are required to establish an Instructional Leadership Team (ILT). ILTs are composed of at least 60 percent teachers. A Team Leader represents each team of teachers. The principal, two parents and two non-teaching staff members are also included on the ILT. During the school year the ILT makes decisions about issues that hold the potential to impact instruction—such as proposed changes to the school program or calendar. The ILT also approves the school budget and makes recommendations for spending funds that are allocated from the Central Office, on a per-student basis. The Local School Decision Making Committee (LSDMC) must approve budget decisions recommended by the ILT.

For concerns about decisions that impact instruction, there is a form to fill out that is forwarded to the leaders of ILT to be addressed.  You will be notified directly or you will find the answers in the minutes.

2022-2023 ILT Parent Representatives are Diane O’Brian, [email protected] and Leslie Leslie Kochanowski, [email protected].
