Norwalk Public Schools (NPS), in partnership with Temple University, is launching the next phase of the districtwide Norwalk Educational Equity Initiative.
There will be two opportunities for NPS families to share their thoughts on this important topic: a survey and focus groups.
To get a deeper perspective from the NPS community on equity in education within our school system, a survey for families is now available.
Focus groups for parents will also be held over the next several weeks to explore equity through facilitated conversations. To ensure effective discussions, sessions will be limited to six participants at a time. Conducted by Dr. Fergus and Temple University researchers, focus groups will take place both virtually and in-person at a variety of locations throughout the city. Focus group signups are also available online.

Input from the survey and focus groups will be utilized to develop the next Strategic Operating Plan. Separate surveys and focus groups for employees and students will also be available.
All parents and guardians, both who currently have students enrolled in the district and those who have had students enrolled in the past, are encouraged to volunteer to participate in both the survey and focus groups. Your input is vital to the development of the next NPS strategic operating plan.
