Citizens for Needham Schools (CNS) Survey

CNS was formed in 2002 to provide accurate, timely, and relevant information — easily accessible — to help families and residents understand school-related issues and make informed choices.

We believe that communication and collaboration between educators and community members is essential to providing high-quality, innovative education to Needham students. CNS facilitates this by making school-related news and information available to the Needham community, and by meeting regularly with school committee members to provide input from a broad range of students, families, and community members.
