Leadership at Overland is shared by the following stakeholders: administration, teachers, aides, parents, students, and community members.  We have teams and councils composed of various stakeholders that function in a leadership role and work together to support student learning. The leadership teams and councils are as follows.  Click here to find out about the next meeting.

SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL consists of parent, teacher, and administrator representatives to review the ongoing implementation of the School Single Plan, which includes the student performance goals and instructional activities related to them. This council is responsible for the School Improvement Program budget which supports the Plan. The budget currently funds our part-time class-size reduction teacher and some of the instructional assistant time for the classrooms.
