Treat others the way you want to be treated........

Many years ago, the State Education Department authorized the establishment of building level teams (BLT) to work within the school setting. Each school district throughout the state decided on the make-up of their schools' BLT.

In our district, at the beginning, each BLT had specific tasks to accomplish.

This varied from year to year, depending on changing circumstances throughout our district. Each BLT was also able to add additional goals of particular interest to their school.

In our district, the make-up of the BLT was to have a mixture of people from different groups; parents, principal, certified Staff, non-certified staff, and community members. Equality among the various groups was a goal. The BLT process was created on a consensus model, meaning everyone had to be in agreement about decisions before a decision could be implemented. Also, the chair of the BLT was determined by the members, with each person having an equal voice. Each of the Hyde Park schools have a BLT which work directly with the “DLT” (District Leadership Team) to support academics, community and spirit within the Hyde Park district. The Ralph R. Smith BLT meets monthly to work at making our school a better place for children, their families, our staff and the entire RRS community.

In our school we have had an active BLT since 1994. Between 8-10 people agree to serve on BLT each year. Most people stay for several years. This helps maintain continuity and focus. Our BLT tries to make our school a better place for children, their families, our staff, and the entire Ralph R, Smith community. We try to put our mission statement, "TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED" into our goals and achievements.
