During the initial meeting, the committee engaged in a thorough review and modification of the CIP from the previous year, ensuring its continued relevance for the upcoming school year. This process involved utilizing the insights gathered from the Parent Climate Survey, Student Climate Survey, and Staff Survey to establish current goals for Social-Emotional Learning.
