The family and consumer science teachers involved are now asking for a formal review
of newly improved classroom materials that were created as a result of the collaboration.
Students, parents/guardians and teachers will all have a chance to review the proposed
materials now through spring. The findings from the feedback will be shared with the
School Board in May. Delaney hopes the materials will be used in classrooms next fall and
plans to begin professional development in August if they’re approved.
The briefing notes and evaluation criteria can be seen in their entirety on the Jan. 26 School
Board meeting agenda.

Board approves addition of questions to survey

The School Board approved the addition of two questions to the Parent Attitude and Satisfaction Survey (PASS) beginning this spring. Survey participants will be asked if they agree
or disagree with the following statements:
• I feel respected at my student’s school.
• I feel my family is accepted at my student’s school.
If participants do not agree with the statements, they will be asked what their children’s
school could do to make them feel more respected or accepted.

ACTION

These questions will be asked in both the PASS phone survey and the online/paper survey.
The phone survey is administered to a random sample of parents/guardians at approximately one-quarter of the district’s schools each year. All parents/guardians receive a link
to complete the online survey given each year; if they don’t have Internet access, they can
request a paper copy.
The additional questions emerged from the work of the district’s Anti-bullying/Antiharassment Community Task Force as one of five recommendations made to the board in
June.
