One of the goals this year is to communicate potential
benefits of a shift in our school calendar for 2013-14 and determine the level
of support for such change. I provided
the board with an update regarding the online survey last night. The paper survey is still out, but the online
version closed last Saturday. You can
see the key slides I shared last night below.
It provides the results in the aggregate as well as disaggregated views based on
geography and the role of the survey participant.
I appreciate all the folks who took time (1800+) to share
their thoughts and opinions on the online survey. At this
time I do not feel there is the needed support to make such a systemic
change, and that's what I recommended to our board. I enjoyed the opportunity to
speak with so many groups about the issue, and I believe it got folks talking
about how best to serve the children in our community.
The board also received public comments which totaled over
126 pages from the online survey. Again,
the goal is to inform our community and listen to ideas and suggestions. Thanks to those who participated in this
process.
Clicking on a slide will make it larger for ease of viewing.
