So anywhere between 4-8? Also, I’m unsure how candidates are ultimately chosen.”

Here’s the deal – 3 parents are elected. They join two certified staff members (that we’re elected among the school’s staff) and the principal for a total of 6 SLT members. At the first SLT meeting, the team appoints at least 1 member from the community for total of 7. The SLT must have a majority of parent/community members. If a school wanted to appoint another teacher, they would have to appoint 2 community members to keep the majority. This scenario is consistent for each of the Decatur schools.
Hope this helps
