WCPS introduces online survey

Wayne County Public Schools is seeking feedback from parents, employees and the community, through a confidential online survey being introduced Oct. 2.

The district is basically asking three questions -- What would you like schools in the district to focus on? What do you appreciate about schools or the district? and What are your thoughts or questions in response to recent discussions about student transfers, boundary lines and access to magnet style schools?

Since coming on board as WCPS superintendent in 2015, Dr. Michael Dunsmore has expressed a commitment to making the school system a leader across the state and nation.

"This very short survey will allow the district administration and Board of Education to glean valuable insights about the perceptions and priorities of its various stakeholder groups," he said. "It is our plan to use the results as part of our ongoing strategic plan efforts, as well as a part of our current discussions and planning efforts in the areas of student assignment and populating WCPS."

The surveys will be available in several ways, emailed to all district employees and emailed to parents and community members who request it through a pre-registration form available on the district website, www.wayne countyschools.org.

The survey will be up for 10 days. "It is my hope that Wayne County takes advantage of this opportunity to weigh in on our schools and share their viewpoints through these three very important questions," Dunsmore said.
