Background:
|
At the November 2017 Committee on Strategic Planning and Budget, the following high-leverage strategies to improve student achievement were identified as part of the budget process:
1. Busing
2. One instructional calendar
3. Long-Range Facilities Master Plan
4. Initiatives to celebrate our students and schools
5. Regional Development Plan/program offerings
6. Program placement and alignment
As part of that discussion, the Board was interested in garnering a high level of community input. Subsequent to this, the district developed a survey that was launched in advance of the winter break. We have also canvassed neighborhoods and district events/locations where there are high numbers of individuals and families in attendance. To date, 4,045 responses were recorded. A snapshot of the feedback follows:
Of the 4,045 responses:
• 42.2% responded as MPS employees
• 43.1% responded as a parent/guardian
• .8% of the surveys were taken in Spanish.
The General Grade Levels Served:
• 16.8% Does not apply
• 41.6% Elementary
• 6.9% Middle School
• 15.8% High School
• 15.2% Multilevel
Most Common Zip Codes:
53207 (688)
53215 (354)
53221 (240)
53208 (208)
53222 (193)
53212 (192)
53219 (161)
Calendar Preferences:
• 48.8% Two-week long winter break vs. 51.2% School starts one week later in August
• 64.5% Day before Thanksgiving off vs. 35.5% Easter Monday off
• 69.2% Spring break the week after Easter vs. 30.8% Spring break the week before Easter
Program Preferences:
• Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEM)
• AP/IB
• Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)
Transportation Priority Preferences:
• Safer passages for walking
• More access to busing outside the walk zone
• Smaller walk zones
• Shorter ride times
Deeper Dive: Data suggests that there are differences in who respondents are and how they responded in some areas. For example:
• 61.1% of parents/guardians want school to start one week later in August
• 43.1% of staff want school to start one week later in August
