Community Survey

This survey was designed to gather your perceptions of our District and the importance of various characteristics found in effective superintendents. The survey was available in many languages, including the top five spoken in our school communities.
Information that was shared will be used to determine the desired characteristics of the next superintendent. The survey was administered by Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates, which ensured that individual responses were kept anonymous and confidential.
