Relationships and Partnerships
Continuous School Improvement Plan
The East Newton Community Stakeholder committee will meet each year in the spring to evaluate district progress and to modify the plan as needed for the following year. If modifications are needed, those modifications will be presented to the school board each year for approval and adoption. The CSIP will be posted on the district’s website for ease of access.
As a result of the Community Stakeholder Committee Meetings, District Administrative Team Meetings, and consultation with members of the East Newton Board of Education, the following priority areas and correlating SMART Goals have been selected for our CSIP.
SMART Goal 3 - Priority Area: Relationships and Partnerships
SMART Goal #3: By June 30, 2028 the Parent/Community Stakeholder Survey the percentage of agree/strongly agree responses will increase by six percent.
Priority Area: Relationships and Partnerships
Belief #5: We believe in building and sustaining relationships and partnerships with all stakeholders.
Belief #2: We believe in transparent communication with the community concerning decision making, resources, and collaborative decision making.
