Summary

Students told administrators youth-truth surveys feel repetitive and urged more anonymous, student-driven feedback; the district said it will distribute an exit survey, post results on the website, and consider adding student representation to board discussions pending policy action.

Several students criticized existing feedback processes as repetitive and said many peers do not take repeated surveys seriously. One student said the repeated survey process meant students were clicking through without engagement: "A lot of students are not taking this survey series... they're just clicking random answers because it's a survey and it takes their time."

Kim acknowledged the concern and said the district will push an exit survey tonight and make results available on the district website; she also discussed ongoing consideration of a formal student role for board discussions, subject to a policy vote. Administrators emphasized they want to expand student forums and structured, anonymous feedback channels to gain higher-quality input.
