BMPV Local School Advisory Team (LSAT)
Local School Advisory Teams are a key lever to increasing transparency at DCPS and ensuring decisions affecting school communities are made collaboratively with the help of a diverse group of school stakeholders. As such, every District of Columbia public school must have a functioning LSAT that is constituted according to the LSAT Guidelines, and that conducts the business outlined therein.
The Local School Advisory Team (LSAT) is a group of elected and appointed members that exists for every DCPS school. The team (formerly the Local School Restructuring Teams) consists of parents, teachers, non-instructional school staff, a community member, and in some cases students, to advise the principal on matters that promote high expectations and high achievement for all students.

The BMPV LSAT meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 4pm EST. Meetings take place virtually. All are welcome! Updates to the meeting calendar are available on the BMPV PTU WhatsApp and Calendar and are posted in the Main Office and exterior of the school.
