How does school-level leadership work at PS 290?
PS 290 is part of NYC Geographic District #2. Its school website describes an SLT made up of parents, teachers, and administrators that works on school-wide concerns and the Comprehensive Education Plan.
Monthly meetings
The school says its SLT meets at least monthly for about an hour.
School-wide work
The SLT works on projects such as the Comprehensive Education Plan and parent surveys.
Limits of authority
The site says the SLT does not set educational policy or teacher guidelines; those are determined by school administration.
The new school website currently offers only a small public news archive, so this page cannot show a complete 12-month record.
