Building Leadership Team (BLT)
The Field Middle School Building Leadership Team is a committee of general education teachers, an Encore teacher, an Intervention Specialist, a support staff member, and an administrator. This diverse group works together to plan strategies to meet our district goals as set by the District Leadership Team (DLT) and Making Middle Grades Work teams. Our meetings are held monthly.
We are extremely proud of the significant gains our students have made in recent years. As a result of data- based decision making, the Field Middle School BLT has led the charge in improving student achievement in the areas of reading and math. Through strategic planning, the team has also overseen significant improvements in attendance rates for all students.
