The vision of the Trenton Public School District for the NJQSAC long term action plan is to create both a climate and culture which invigorates teaching and learning, increases student achievement, and positively impacts the development of the whole child in an increasingly competitive global environment. The Trenton Public School District will provide an environment which is safe, nurturing, and encourages learning. Equitable opportunities will be provided to students so that they will be challenged to meet a rigorous, technologically integrated standards based curriculum. All staff will be provided continuous professional development, resulting in highly qualified personnel, and improved leadership and management. All staff will have high expectations for all students and the district will have high expectations for all staff.  All parents will be given the opportunity to participate in the decision making process, to recognize the learning expectations of the district and to be held in high esteem as critical partners in the process. In an effort to create capacity and to have focused strategies to improve and increase student achievement -staff, students, parents, and community partners will embrace the “All Together Better” collaborative thinking practice.
