Discussion:
Superintendent Kevin Case gave an update on the survey process. He stated all students in grades 3-12 will participate in the student survey this week. The student surveys are another phase of the survey process through the district's work with Studer Education. Administrators participated in the District Services Survey to provide feedback to the Executive Leadership Team and its work. Parent/Caregiver Focus Groups met on April 7 to review the results of that survey and give feedback on what we as a district should continue doing and what does better look like? The feedback will be used to come up with a plan to implement next school year.
