Site Management Team
About our Site Management Team
Linscott Charter School departs from the traditional school governance model. The Site Management Team, made up of an equal number of parents (elected by the parent group) and staff, plus the Administrative Director, oversees operation of the school, including setting budget priorities. In addition, each class elects a parent representative, who acts as a liaison between the class and the SMT.
The Administrative Director is responsible for the school as the Site Management Team's chief executive officer and works in collaboration with the SMT to develop and execute the policies of the SMT; develops the annual budget in consultation with the Finance Coordinator and supervises all aspects of business activities of the school; serves as educational leader in the area of curriculum improvement; administers and supervises the entire K-8 school and its employees; develops, promotes and maintains positive relationships with students, parents and Linscott community, the community at large and with the Pajaro Valley Unified School District through leadership, interaction and communication; and supervises operation and maintenance of the school.
SMT Connection
At Linscott every time we show up for a meeting, a work day, or a fundraiser, we show our kids that our community is the sum of its parts, and that everyone has a role to play. As a community we make decisions that reflect thoughtful consideration of the values we hold dear. At our next SMT meeting (5:30pm Monday Oct. 5, note the departure from the usual Tuesday meeting time) we will discuss how to continue to build opportunities that enrich all of us, regardless of ability to pay, even when financial resources are scarce for the school and for families in our community. Show up for the meeting, tell your kids where you’re going, show them what it means to be part of a community.
