III. New Business - Discussion of Internal Survey

A.

Consideration of adding an internal survey instrument

John Steinberg shared numerous documents that the committee members reviewed last month.
Thoughts to consider:
Number of statements, ease of completion, clarity of wording
How faculty/staff sees the role of the HOS and also the roles of the principal and Special Ed. Director
Comparison of Val-Ed vs. Board on Track side by side to see what might be missing to add to this newly created one
Peter will involve the Faculty in the process of providing input on what the statements could be on the survey during an upcoming PD.
We will need to decide on the format for administration and security. (ex. Survey Monkey)
