Van Ness Elementary’s Local School Advisory Team (LSAT)
Each DC public school is required to have in place a Local School Advisory Team (LSAT), which is composed of elected parent, teacher, non-instructional staff representatives, and an appointed community member. The LSAT is an advisory group to the principal and works on a range of issues, from school culture and student achievement, to operations and long-range planning strategies. The LSAT also signs off on the annual school budget. For more general information on LSATs please click here
