East Windsor Public Schools Priorities Survey

The East Windsor Public Schools is focused on addressing issues and concerns caused by Covid-19 that will impact the school on an academic, operational, and long term level.  East Windsor seeks your input and feedback to help inform their decision making process as the school leadership charts how best to use federal grants designed to help the school system address its priorities as we return to a more normal school setting this fall. 

Question Title

* 1. Nationally as well as locally, data indicates mental health of students as a primary area of need as we return to school this fall. To that end, use of this federal grant funding for support staff may include a school psychologist, a social worker, programs designed to support social emotional well being of students, and professional development in these areas at the middle and elementary grades. How do you feel about this approach?

Question Title

* 2. Data shows that many students have regressed in their academic achievement during the pandemic due to out of school time, and the inconsistencies the pandemic has caused in all learning.  To help some students catch up and others speed up, we may use federal funds for elementary reading and math tutors, middle school reading and math tutors, additional math materials, updated library materials, and updated classroom library books.  How do you feel about this approach?

Question Title

* 3. Due to the pandemic's impact on the operations of the school system, another identified area of need includes  health, safety and district operations. Federal funds may be used to address building upgrades and repairs, shortages in critical areas such as school nurses, custodians, and special education support. How do you feel about this approach?
