As part of the reorganization of the Clark County School District, our school has formed a School Organizational Team that includes three parents and guardians that were elected by a vote of all parents and guardians at our school.

What is the role of the SOT?

Provide input on the school performance plan and budget.
Provide continued advice to the principal in carrying out the school plan.
Assist with the selection of the next principal when there is a vacancy.

What are the requirements of Team members?

Make decisions with the whole school population in mind.
Work collaboratively and attempt to reach consensus with the team.
