District presents end‑of‑year survey results; high school staff morale and student mental‑health needs flagged
Summary
District staff presented end‑of‑year survey results showing generally positive student and parent responses and notable concerns among high‑school staff about feeling respected and supported; the board asked administration to return with more detailed reports and options for focus groups and mental‑health partnerships.
District staff presented the Waconia Public School District's end‑of‑year survey results during the June 9 board meeting, highlighting mostly positive responses from students and parents and several areas for targeted follow up.
Matt Thomas, who led the presentation, said roughly 2,000 students (grades 4–12) completed the student survey and about 945 parents completed the parent/guardian survey. He reported that district‑wide measures tied to the district strategic plan — students feeling safe and supported (about 87%), feeling welcome/respected/heard (86%) and engagement (over 90%) — were generally strong across buildings but noted variation between elementary and secondary levels and small sample caveats at elementary schools.
