Superintendent presents survey results showing gains in student, parent and employee measures
Summary
Dr. Jeff Flagg, superintendent, presented recent Studer Education survey results showing year-over-year improvements across student, parent and employee responses in the Fond du Lac School District.
Dr. Jeff Flagg, superintendent of the Fond du Lac School District, presented results from the district's most recent Studer Education surveys and said the data show gains across student, parent and employee measures.
Flagg said the district compared only the most recent two years because the survey constructs changed. "For the second straight year, the student survey has improved in each of the 20 questions," he said. Flagg reported that 84% of students now "agree or strongly agree that learning is important at their school," up from 80% the prior year, and that 75% "agree or strongly agree that their teacher cares about them," up from 69%.
The superintendent said parent responses also rose. Four years earlier, 56% of parents agreed rules were enforced consistently; Flagg said that figure is now 73%. He said 80% of parents now indicate the schools provide a safe environment, up from 64%, and that 81% are proud to have a child at their school, up from 70%.
On employee measures, Flagg said results improved in 19 of 20 employee-engagement questions. He reported that 72% of employees would recommend the district for educating their own children, up from 53% four years earlier. He said 80% of employees now report colleagues "regularly share and exchange ideas," up from 54%, and that 83% have a clear understanding of the district's mission and goals, up from 63%.
Flagg framed the changes as evidence the district's culture is shifting. "The data indicates we've made a positive shift in the student experience in the Fond du Lac School District," he said. He thanked parents and staff for their role in the improvements and told staff he expects leaders to "lean in even further" as the district pursues continued progress. He also said he is preparing to leave the organization.
The presentation did not include formal board motions or votes and did not specify next steps, timelines or budget changes tied to the survey results. Flagg said the district uses the anonymous Studer Education surveys to measure progress and engagement but did not provide a dataset or a timetable for public release of the full results.
