Safety and Security
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 4: Priority Area - Safety and Security
By June 2028, the percentage of staff, students and parents agreeing or strongly agreeing they or their children are socially, emotionally, and physically safe will increase by five percent each year as measured by the annual district survey.
Priority Area: Safety and Security
Belief #4: We believe in a safe, positive climate and culture that is student centered.
