Norwalk Public Schools has been working on the next strategic plan to guide the district. In January, a representative strategic plan Task Force was convened and has been working with the Center for School Change to conduct an intensive needs assessment.

The Task Force includes teachers, principals, administrators, and community leaders, including Carver’s CEO, Novelette Peterkin.

At the Board of Education meeting on Tuesday, May 18 at 7 pm, Dr. Estrella will be joined by the Connecticut Center for School Change to present recommendations from this work. All parents are invited to join in for this important presentation.

Norwalk Public Schools has embarked on several initiatives to gather research and data to help better understand the needs of the district, including an Equity in Education initiative and a review of the Human Resources and talent management function. A comprehensive facilities study is also underway, as well as a Special Education review to ensure the needs of students with disabilities are being met.
