      • Explanation of the CEP or Comprehensive Education Plan. It is created in June and it speaks to the Chancellor’s goals.  The CEP must be aligned to the Framework for Great Schools.   The committee reviews the goals and loos at data points during the year to measure success.  The CEP is on the DOE 372K school website.  All schools have a CEP, they are public and can be found on the DOE website.
