Local School Advisory Team

The Deal Local School Advisory Team (LSAT) is a group of elected and appointed parents, teachers, non-instructional school staff, and a community member that serves to advise the principal on matters that promote high expectations and high achievement for all students. Every District of Columbia Public School must have a functioning Local School Advisory Team.
