Summary
Superintendent Meyer presented family‑survey results showing high safety and communication ratings, highlighted Hall of Fame nominations, school visits and community engagement on the future of Southwest Pool, and said results will be published and examined during upcoming strategic sessions.
Superintendent Meyer reported to the Green Bay Area Public School District board that nearly 2,000 families completed a district baseline survey and that results will inform the district’s five‑year strategic plan.
Meyer said survey findings include: 90% of responding families report that their child feels safe in school buildings; 82% reported positive impressions of communication frequency and clarity; 83% said they do not face major barriers to engage with their child’s school; 73% feel confident supporting learning at home; and 71% rated their child’s overall school climate positively. The superintendent said the district offered the survey in more than 20 languages (the record cites 30 languages) and reported 1,722 responses in English, 133 in Spanish, three in Haitian Creole and one in French; the district estimated respondents represent about 13% of families.
Meyer said administrators will publish the results to the community between February and mid‑March and will perform a deeper analysis during the April strategic priorities work session. He asked the board to view the survey as a benchmark and promised follow‑through: "This is our benchmark, folks... next time this survey is taken... we're gonna see how much progress we can make." Meyer also reviewed school visits, student achievements (forensics, show choir, band), Hall of Fame nominations for the class of 2026, and community engagement meetings about the future of Southwest Pool; he said student input urged the board not to close the Southwest Pool and that the district will present compiled feedback at the March work session.
Meyer addressed recent student‑led walkouts and stressed the district’s legal obligation to allow students’ First Amendment expression while maintaining safety; he said the district monitors students for safety and educates students on civil protest. He also apologized for an incident when some middle‑school students entered local businesses and said district leaders personally visited impacted merchants.
Next steps: the district will publish survey results to families, plan follow‑up work in April and bring community feedback on the pool and other engagement topics to upcoming meetings.
