Background:
|
At the November 28, 2017 Committee on Strategic Planning and Budget, the following high-leverage strategies to improve student achievement were identified as part of the budget process.
1. Busing
2. One Instructional Calendar
3. The Long-Range Facilities Master Plan
4. Initiatives to celebrate our students and schools
5. Regional Development Plan/program offerings
6. Program placement and alignment
As part of that discussion, the Board was interested in garnering a high level of community input. Subsequent to this, the district developed a survey that was launched in advance of the winter break. These efforts included canvassing neighborhoods and having a presence at district events/locations where there are high numbers of individuals and families in attendance. An initial report was presented to the Committee on Parent and Community Engagement on January 16, 2018. Below is an updated report as of March 2, 2018. There were 7,214 responses recorded.
