What is an LSAT? The Local School Advisory Team (LSAT) is a group of elected and appointed members that exists for every DCPS school. The team consists of parents, teachers, non-instructional school staff, and a community member, to advise the principal on matters that promote high expectations and high achievement for all students. The team meets roughly once per month. More information can be found here http://dcps.dc.gov/page/local-school-advisory-teams-lsat or click below for additional details.
