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 6 - Priority Area: Staffing

SMART GOAL #6: By June 2028, East Newton will retain 95 percent of certified staff (excluding retirements, promotions) that we intended to offer a contact; and retain 85 percent of non-certified staff.

Priority Area: Staffing
Belief #4: Building and sustaining relationships and partnership with all stakeholders.
