The following data sources were reviewed for all student groups, grade levels, subjects, gender, and special program area students:

New Braunfels ISD’s Comprehensive Needs Assessment Process

State and federal law both require schools to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment (CNA) as part of the planning and decision making

process. The purpose of the CNA is to examine multiple sources of data to identify the priority needs and direction for the school. This process is

the pre-work to the development of the campus and district improvement plans and decisions regarding the justification for use of ESSA and other

State funds. When conducted properly, the CNA provides schools with identified strengths and weaknesses and specifies priorities for addressing

student achievement and meeting challenging academic and performance standards.

Conducting a CNA is a process, not an event. Data collection and analysis is ongoing to ensure that progress toward the school’s objectives, goals,

mission and vision are being realized. Areas to be addressed include student performance and achievement; school climate and safety; staff quality

and professional development; curriculum, instruction and assessment; parent and community involvement; school organization and policy; and

technology.

1. District administrators review NBISD Goals and purpose and outcomes for conducting the CNA with Administrative Team (principals, directors and coordinators). Expectations and guidelines are established and short and long-term timelines are set.

2. Each campus establishes teams composed of parents and community members, teachers, and administrators that meet throughout the year to examine multiple sources of data. Sources of data may include, but are not limited to, parent, student and teacher surveys; academic achievement on local and state assessments; review of TAPR and Federal Accountability reports; and review of prior year campus improvement plans. Meeting agendas, minutes and sign-in sheets document this process.

3. Teams analyze collected data to identify campus strengths and needs. Needs are prioritized and all findings are recorded on campus CNA summary.

4. Campus representatives bring summaries of their campuses identified strengths and prioritized needs to a meeting of the District Educational Improvement Committee (DEIC). This data is compiled and used in developing the district’s comprehensive needs assessment.

5. CNA findings are connected to the campus and district improvement plan development and review process. District and campus improvement plans identify strategies and activities designed to address prioritized campus and district needs. Priorities and needs correlate with justifications for Title I-III and SCE program expenditures.
