Board discusses family and community partnerships, survey approach and independent interviews
Summary
Board discussed adopting measurable family-community partnership goals and soliciting independent feedback from partners; staff suggested using Hanover to conduct interviews and recommended twice-yearly parent surveys to build baseline perception data.
Board members and staff discussed the district's Priority 4: strengthening family and community partnerships and how to measure progress.
Staff recommended building a repeatable survey instrument for parents and suggested twice-yearly administration; for community partners, staff proposed using an independent third party (Hanover) to conduct interviews and reduce bias. One staff member said Hanover could "do other work for us as part of the contract" and another noted that interviews allow richer feedback than surveys alone.
Members discussed logistics—paper surveys sent home with students, electronic distribution and incentives for higher response rates—and requested a proposed survey instrument and timeline for board review. No board action was taken at the session.
