CEPs now on School Web Portals for viewing

According to the Office of School Improvement, 2008-2009 Comprehensive Educational Plans(CEPs) are on the school's DOE web portal. Go to schools.nyc.gov and type in your school number which will take you to the school portal.Click on "statistics" and scroll down to Comprehensive Educational Plan 2008-2009.

However, in a random check of twenty five schools,sixty percent (15) did not have the CEP listed. The Office of School Improvement responded that three of the schools did have the CEP listed but the other twelve did not and they were determining if those schools submitted a 2008-2009 CEP.

The Office of School Improvement will be posting 2009-2010 CEP's starting this month.It is required under NYS Education Law.

If your school portal does not have its 2008-2009 CEP posted, please contact Sharon Rencher (srenche@schools.nyc.gov)from the Office of School Improvement.

In addition, contact Ms. Rencher for inquiries concerning the template for the 2010-2011 CEP. SLT's should be developing the 2010-2011 CEP and then aligning the school budget when it is allocated around April.

Biennial Review Survey

Dear School Leadership Team Member,

In accordance with Commissioner’s Regulation 100.11, an evaluation of SLTs will be performed every two years as part of a Biennial Review process. This survey has been designed for you by our office in consultation with District Leadership Team (DLT) members to provide candid information about the overall effectiveness of School Leadership Teams (SLTs) and your experience as a member of a team. Your full participation in team activities ensures that stakeholder voices are heard and considered in the important work of educational planning and shared decision-making at the local school level.

The questions in this survey correspond to DLT priorities as outlined in Commissioner’s Regulation 100.11. With your responses, DLTs will collect and process information from each school, allowing a fair assessment of district-wide implementation of the regulation based on actual team member feedback. The next Biennial Review must be completed by February 2010.

Please begin completing your survey by clicking the link to your district below. All surveys must be submitted by January 15, 2010 to ensure that DLTs have sufficient time to review the data and complete their review.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to the children in our school communities!

Sincerely,


Martine Guerrier

Chief Family Engagement Officer

If you are aware of a team member who needs a translated version of the survey please email: ofea@schools.nyc.gov.
