Continuous Improvement Plan

At Princeton Public Schools our team continually works towards improving the district's efficiency, effectiveness and equity. Our goal is to utilize best practices that will maximize the student experience and stand the test of time.

We developed our Continuous Improvement plan around our focus areas of:

  • Student Learning
  • Climate and Culture
  • Multi-Tiered System of Supports, and
  • Operations

Each focus area has specific desired outcomes that we will be intentionally working toward as a district. For us to achieve our goals to provide the best possible experience for our students, we must work together as a team. None of us can do this alone. We all have roles and responsibilities that will contribute to achieving our goals. Your support and participation is needed to insure that we meet our commitment to excellence.
