LSAT

The Local School Advisory Team (LSAT) is a group of elected and appointed members that exists in every DCPS school. The team consists of parents, teachers, staff, and a community member who advise the principal on matters that promote high expectations and achievement for all students.
Provide feedback for the 2018-2019 school year budget! The LSAT is soliciting the input of the entire Ludlow-Taylor community to better understand its priorities.  Your feedback will help the LSAT  allocate the funds Ludlow-Taylor receives from DCPS.
