North Carolina general statute requires each public school to have a school improvement team. The School Improvement Team or SIT is the school's representative leadership team, including elected staff and parents. The SIT's main goal is to support the Continuous Improvement Plan, which includes goals to help the school improve its ability to support every child's achievement. It addresses areas such as academic success; school climate and culture; closing achievement gaps; family involvement; professional development; and improving school communication.  

The SIT also:

• Reviews the results of all relevant state and district-administered surveys       
• Discusses issues related to school resources, staff development, and student instruction       
• Encourages, supports, and creates opportunities for the involvement of families       
• Promotes communication among administration, teachers, staff, students, and families       

The SIT does not discuss personnel issues or individual student concerns.

Any parent or teacher can attend meetings and present ideas to or ask questions of the SIT. There is always a public comment period designated on the agenda near the last 15 minutes of the meeting.
