I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the parents who sent in the school survey that we recently sent home. We received 63 surveys back representing 93 students, or 34% of our student population (not the mandate from the majority we had hoped for). I have been looking over the surveys and finding that some of the comments people made, while at times difficult to swallow, are comments that the school board and administration have been addressing as we head into the 2011-2012 school year.
One of the interesting things I saw initially as I looked them over is the number of new programs and additional programs that parents would like for their children and the school.... most we could accomplish if we had not faced two years of defeated budgets that saw additional money that we set aside to provide extras for the students get CUT through the defeated budget process. If the budget passes, better things can happen.
Besides passing responsible school budgets, coming out to provide additional requests to the school board at one of our two monthly meetings would allow us to better serve our students. Your input is always welcome! Feel free to call me or stop in to share any ideas you might have that would serve to improve the educational offerings we have for our students.
Full survey results will be forthcoming.
Till next time....
