Local School RestructuringTeam (LSRT)Please note - With Mayor Fenty's announcement that the Janney addition will move forward, with a projected ground breaking in January 2010, the elected parental body, formerly known as the Janney SIT, was renamed the Local School Restructuring Team (LSRT) in April 2009. A new body was formed of Janney parents, staff and community members with the sole purpose of working with the District on the Janney addition and modernization project. This New Committee is now refered to as the School Improvement Team Facilities Committee (SIT). What is the LSRT? In a nutshell, the LSRT advises the Principal on issues related to the Local School Plan: what is needed at the school, where we want to be as a school, whether we are there, and if not, how we should get there. The Janney LSRT is composed of the Principal, six teachers, six parents, a student representative, and, at times, a community representative. The LSRT supports the Principal’s implementation of the DCPS Teaching and Learning Framework by advising the Principal on matters related to teaching and learning, leadership, job embedded professional development, resources, safe and effective learning environments, and family and community engagement. The LSRT is an elected body that serves in an advisory capacity to the Principal by: 1. Receiving and making appropriate recommendations regarding the development of the Local School Plan, 2. Monitoring and assessing the implementation of the Local School Plan, 3. Using assessment results to develop and modify specific strategies for school improvement, and 4. Ensuring compliance with established guidelines, contracts, and District rules. LSRT meetings are held monthly and are open to the Janney community for observation. One meeting each semester is held where non-LSRT members can participate rather than observe. Teacher representatives to the LSRT are elected annually by the faculty each year. Parent representatives are elected to serve staggered 2-year terms to ensure continuity. Elections for the LSRT are held each Spring.
