Commission forms survey and best-practices subcommittee to improve school outreach
Summary
The commission voted to create a small 'Survey and Best Practices' subcommittee to develop an electronic principal-feedback survey and a standard outreach guide; membership and some operational details were left to follow-up.
The Pleasant Hill City Education Commission voted to form a "Survey and Best Practices" subcommittee to draft a principal-feedback questionnaire and a standardized guide for commissioners to connect with school sites.
Commissioners discussed a principal-feedback draft questionnaire that had been circulated in hard copy and noted the advantages of collecting responses electronically to increase response rates and enable branching questions. A commissioner with survey design experience recommended electronic distribution with conditional prompts to both educate respondents and capture targeted input.
During the meeting a motion to create the subcommittee was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. The commission agreed that the subcommittee should be small (no more than four members) and that volunteers would confirm membership and roles before the group begins work. The subcommitteef9s initial tasks include electronically distributing the draft questionnaire, collecting principal/VP feedback, and drafting a uniform introductory letter and best-practices guide for commissioners who liaise with schools.
The commission also discussed inviting middle school principals and Pleasant Hill police resource officers to a fall meeting (targeted for August or September) to clarify the nature of reported school-safety conversations and to explore whether city-produced materials or facilitated conversations could support schools.
