Ballard High School Building Leadership Team

The Building Leadership Team (BLT) is grounded in the belief that collaborative site-based decision-making structures are key to accelerating student academic achievement, racial equity, and building community. The committee consists of representation from school stakeholders: five Certified Staff Members, one Classified staff member, one Paraprofessional, one Custodial (Local 509), two Parents/Community representatives, two ASB representatives (including the ASB Racial Justice Advocate), and the Principal.

The BLT committee meets monthly to discuss building-wide issues including school-wide events, attendance, student activities and school climate. The BLT is also responsible for providing leadership and direction for professional development, the school budget, and the school improvement plan (CSIP).

Meetings

BLT meets on the second Thursday of every month at 4 p.m. BLT meets virtually via Microsoft Teams or on-campus location, it’s Room S102. For Teams link information, please email the BLT Chair.

Meeting dates may be adjusted to accommodate school holidays and vacation periods. BLT meetings are open to the public. Membership is not required to attend and participate in meetings. Everyone is invited.
