February 22, 2019 Principals’ Meeting Rank in NEISD February 22, 2019 Principals’ Meeting Donna – welcome

Continuous improvement requires having effective systems and involves thoughtful review and an ongoing effort to improve. North East has always prided ourselves on ensuring our tradition of excellence for all students. For any organization to perform at a high level an organization must have effective systems in place. We have that in spades! To ensure greatness a system must have the desire to continuously improve and be thoughtful about the process. In an Era of school choice in San Antonio, outside forces are pushing us to use our review process on all of our practices and policies. Today is about reviewing our policies.
