Each LISD campus has a Building Leadership Team (BLT). The BLT, chaired by the campus principal, functions as the guiding force in campus level goal setting and planning. The BLT, representing all segments of the campus and its community, is instrumental in the site-based decision-making process: communicating, advising, researching, monitoring, and recommending actions designed to improve student performance. Each BLT shall include at least two parents and two community residents, selected through a process determined by the campus principal, and at least three campus-based professional employees other than the principal. (At least two-thirds of the professional employees serving on the council shall be classroom teachers; the remaining employee members shall be non-teaching professional employees). BLT representatives shall be elected or selected annually.

Every staff member shall be involved in the campus improvement process. If not serving on the BLT, a staff member will be part of a task force committee that is a subcommittee of the BLT. Each task force committee is responsible for the development and monitoring of the action plan related to one of the campus performance objectives spelled out in the campus Plan of Action.

Any concerns may be given to any member who in turn will bring them before the BLT. Meetings are held three times a year at 3:00 p.m. starting in September.
