II. Discussion Items
A.
Parent Survey Results
I. Soto, MPS Interim Chief External Officer, gave a brief overview of the parent survey participation rates, 2016-17 and 2017-18 survey results comparison, and Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) participation rate goals. He explained that these surveys are conducted every year and allow MPS to see what is being done well and what needs refinement. Parents, students, and staff participate annually in the completion of these surveys. Included in the survey is a "Free Response" section that allows for all stakeholders to input their opinions and suggestions. The survey has a variety of questions ranging from school climate to perceptions and improvements. I. Soto explained that the survey participation throughout all ten MPS school sites increased from the previous year, except for MSA-8 Bell who can no longer increase since they continue to be at 100% survey participation rate. He later went on to share the highlights and growth from each school. All in all, a total of 2,768 families participated in the surveys across the organization.
All school site principals presented their survey results and what they are doing to ensure all parent input and concerns are addressed and improved. All committee member questions were addressed.
