Something to say about Seattle Public Schools? Survey ends soon

Seattle Public Schools‘ current five-year strategic plan “Excellence for All” expires this year, and the district is working on a new one. An online survey that’s part of the process is ending in a few days, and the district is asking feedback from everyone – “families, students, staff, and members of the community” included, according to a reminder recently sent. It’s a quick survey, the district promises, and it starts here. Find more background – and links to take the survey in more languages – here. This Wednesday (February 27th) is the deadline.

That was the vaguest survey I’ve ever taken. The results could be skewed any way they want.

Yes, vague pointless survey. Seems more about whether or not people actually had the attention span to read through those boring meandering pages than if anyone actually agreed/disagreed or had any input. I tried to answer the survey as I actually do try to keep up with SPS, but after answering “not sure” on everything, I just closed it and turned on the Oscars.

Totally agree. Very vague. I think what they will find is that most people will answer “not sure”. In the comment box, I wrote a long comment about how vague the survey was, and told them what I really wanted to say through the survey…
