District staff survey shows broad improvement but flags materials and discipline for follow-up
Summary
An anonymous staff survey reported 144 respondents (about 58% of staff) and showed increases from a 2021–22 baseline on many measures (including 95% reporting trust in supervisors), while items such as access to materials and consistency of discipline scored lower and will be examined further.
A presenter to the Galesville-Ettrick-Trempealeau School District board summarized results of the district’s annual, externally administered staff survey, saying the district received 144 responses — roughly 58% of staff — and that many measures have improved since the 2021–22 baseline.
"We had 144 respondents. So 58% of our total staff participated," the presenter said, noting that about 47% of respondents were classroom teachers and that the survey was conducted by School Perceptions.
The presenter highlighted several high scores: 95% reported they "trust my supervisor," 99% rated working relationships with colleagues positively, and most responses leaned toward positive on items such as feeling safe at work and receiving opportunities for training. The presenter emphasized that scores above 3.0 on the survey’s 1–5 scale indicate net positive sentiment.
The board also examined lower-scoring items that will require follow-up. "Materials and supplies I need to do my job well" had declined slightly (the presenter said the figure remains in the 4.0 range but is down from the prior year), and "our school's discipline practices are effective" registered at about 67%. The presenter said the administration will break down results by role and building to identify where those gaps are concentrated.
Board members asked clarifying questions about grading/reporting changes at the middle school and the role of administration in addressing discipline and supply issues. The presenter said further analysis will be done and that the administration would provide more detailed breakdowns to the board.
The presentation was informational; the board did not take formal action beyond receiving the report.
