What is EPSS?
The EPSS (Educational Plan for Student Success) is a state-mandated document which each school and district is required to prepare annually, though the same goals may well be in place over a period of years. All EPSS’s are aligned with the district goals. For the most part they are found in a district database. Each EPSS Goal is accompanied with baseline and status data as well as a current year’s objective. Then a series of Strategies are determined to implement the goal and carried out throughout the school and across the year. These strategies may include the necessary Professional Development or training, purchase of new materials, specific classroom activities, etc. The development of the EPSS should include staff, administration, parents and possibly the community.
