Manchester-Essex Regional School District is asking the entire community
to weigh in on the best strategies to improve the district’s aging elementary school
facilities through a brief Facilities Expansion Survey. Designed in conjunction with independent technology
and communication firm, K12 Insight,
the survey seeks to gauge community awareness of critical facilities issues as
well as learn stakeholder priorities and preferences.
Parents,
teachers and staff with email addresses on file with the district will receive
email invitations to participate. However, the survey is accessible to everyone
in the MERSD Schools community via the district website www.mersd.org.
Anyone without access to the internet may visit a local school or
library to take the survey online. As the district’s goal is to ensure
community-wide participation, all responses are anonymous and confidential.
Once the survey is complete, the
School Committee will share results with the community, along with an
explanation of how they will use the data to inform next steps. Going forward,
the School Committee will convene a task force commissioned to study these
issues further and make recommendations on the future configuration of district
elementary schools.
To access the survey
through the district website, please visit www.mersd.org.
