COMMIT TO IMPACTFUL SPACES & SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES

Create and institute a “top-down, bottom-up” institutionwide sustainability plan that includes a commitment to:

• Increase integration of sustainability-related topics into the school’s curriculum and program with clear connections to interdisciplinary and experiential learning

• Hire a Director of Sustainability who will lead an institutional team and broadly facilitate and communicate the school’s progress toward becoming a more sustainable organization

Create an updated Campus Master Plan to ensure a clear timeline and appropriate allocation of resources to address facility needs in service of the student experience and the needs of faculty and staff

• Prioritize the renovation of legacy spaces (e.g. older classrooms, library, dining hall)

• Develop or create new student-focused spaces on campus for learning, collaboration and socializing

Formulate a plan to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the institution

• Build funds to grow the school’s endowment

• Continue to monitor and manage the true cost of attending Newark Academy in order to ensure the school remains accessible and affordable to all families

• Create policies and allocate funds to support families of varying socioeconomic backgrounds
