This report provides a balanced summary of the efforts and accomplishments of the Nova Central School Board in respect to the goals that are articulated in its strategic plan 2011- 2014, which addressed four areas: Student academic achievement, student retention, safe and caring schools and school leadership. The Nova Central School Board’s commitment to students and to learning is affirmed by the contents of the Annual Report.
