Purpose: The purpose of McLeansville Elementary School Leadership Team (MESLT) is to make decisions related to school finances (budget) and curriculum at McLeansville Elementary School.  MESLT will deal with issues directly and indirectly related to instruction, student performance, school climate and improvement.  These decisions are binding for the MESLT, provided the decisions are within the authority of the school and with the understanding that the principal may make a different decision than the leadership team.  In these cases, the  principal will provide a written explanation to the team.
