Assistant superintendent presents district climate survey results; next steps outlined
Summary
Assistant Superintendent Tim Smith presented the district climate survey results showing an overall median score of 3.85 across five domains and identified strengths and focus areas; the board asked follow-up questions and staff outlined next steps for 'Data into Action' and Climate Improvement Plans.
Assistant Superintendent Tim Smith presented the Stonington School District's climate survey results at the Aug. 15 special meeting and responded to board questions about administrator and staff survey items.
Presentation slides summarized five domains — Safety; Teaching and Learning; Interpersonal Relationships; Institutional Environment; and Leadership and Efficacy — and reported a district overall median score of 3.85. The slides listed domain median scores and item-level results (for example, Teacher–Student Relationships median 4.22; Support for Academic Learning median 3.88) and included counts of negative responses by race/ethnicity for selected items. Smith answered board questions about whether staff have a separate leadership survey and how negative responses, particularly in middle-school staff data, are handled.
Slides also outlined next steps labeled 'Data into Action' and a multi-step Climate Improvement Plan process for addressing identified areas of concern.
What happens next: the presentation materials will inform climate-improvement planning and follow-up work with staff; board members requested further detail on middle-school staff responses and how negative feedback will be addressed.
