COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT of the entire school (including the needs of migrant children) with information about the academic achievement of children in relation to the state academic content standards.
Describe the process utilized to conduct the comprehensive needs assessment for this school.

Previous year's EOY, FSA, BAFS and Checkpoint data are continuously shared, discussed and analyzed by teacher and grade level throughout the school year in grade level, team, leadership and SAC meetings.  This school wide data discussion of results drives instruction to help meet the needs of all students.  

Parents  play a vital role in the process, and are invited to complete a parent survey, participate in monthly SAC meetings and provide input into matters concerning curriculum, school environment and communication.  Results of the survey are shared, and parents are invited to meet with administration to not only discuss survey results, but to discuss student achievment results and strategies for improvement.  All stakeholders are invited to meet and plan goals and objectives which are a part of the SIP.

Coral Park Elementary works collaboratively with the district's Talent Acquisition & Operations department, as well as the district level Teacher Recruitment Committee to retain and recruit highly qualified, certified-in-field, educators. Coral Park also participates in ‘Experience Broward’ Teacher Recruitment Fairs, and vacancies are filled with candidates interviewed at the fair as well as by referrals from the district's instructional staffing department.
