Important employee survey deadline extended
All school-based staff encouraged to provide input on services for SPED and at-risk students
The window for employees to take a confidential survey to capture information on policies and practices related to students with disabilities and students identified as at-risk has been extended until Wednesday, Oct. 31 in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.
The survey, conducted by the American Institutes for Research (AIR), is part of a larger review by the third-party consultant. All school-based employees who have not taken the survey are encouraged to do so by clicking here.
The data collected will be analyzed and reported alongside analyses of several other data sources, including a parent survey and interviews and focus groups with district and school staff over the coming months.
Participation in the survey is voluntary, but all school-based staff are encouraged to take 15-20 minutes of their time to share their views and experiences. The effectiveness of the survey depends upon the candid and honest responses of employees, which will remain confidential. Names of respondents are not collected, and all data are aggregated to the district level. Therefore, schools will not be identified in the analysis or the report.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact AIR representative Allison Gandhi by telephone (781-373-7003) or e-mail (agandhi@air.org).
