Board of Education Client Survey
INTRODUCTION
This year, the Board of Education has identified a goal of fostering better relationships
with Clayton's teachers. The first step the we're looking to take is to gain an
understanding from the District's teachers about how you feel about our relationship. We
want to use the same approach - a client survey - that Clayton's teachers and
administrators use to understand if they are meeting the expectations of their
"customers." This is your opportunity to let us know how the Board can best support
teachers in their important work. The BOE is very interested in some honest feedback
about what we do well and where we can do better.
You can access the survey by clicking on the link at the end of this e-mail. If for some
reason you encounter any technical issues while taking the survey, please feel free to
contact Chris Tennill at 854-6015. He can help you resolve them. Your participation is
anonymous. I want to personally assure you that all responses will be confidential.
Please take a few minutes to respond to this brief survey. The survey will close at 5 p.m.
on Monday, September 29. As a Board of Education, we will use the results of this
survey to frame our discussions at this year's Communications Lab and to inform our
work to foster better relationships with Clayton's teachers.
Sincerely,
Omri Praiss
