Summit Discusses Plan On School's Future Goals

SUMMIT, NJ — The first of two Focus Areas Discussions was held on Wednesday. The discussion follows a community-wide survey that asked parents in October to help define the direction of the Summit Public Schools for the next three-year period.

Focus Areas are developed every three years by the Board of Education to help guide the board and administrators to what goals are set for the Summit Public Schools. These Focus Areas are developed along with input from key stakeholders, including parents, members of the community and district staff.

The next Focus Areas will go into effect from September 2018 through June 2021.

The next discussion meeting is scheduled for Nov. 30 from 7 to 8 p.m., in the Summit High School Library. All Summit parents, staff, and residents are welcome to attend.
