A Local School Advisory Team (LSAT) is a body that exists in every school. It is made up of the parents, teachers, non-instructional school staff, a community member, and in some cases students, to advise the principal on matters essential to high expectations and high achievement for all students.

The LSAT has primary responsibility for:

- developing the Comprehensive School Plan, including the supporting budget;

- reviewing data in order to be informed about school needs and trends;

- monitoring and assessing the implementation of the school plan, and

- using assessment results to develop specific strategies for school improvement.

The West LSAT is comprised of elected members drawn from the teachers corps, administration and parents.  Elections are held each May and members serve a one year term from September to September.
