    Survey Administration

     

    Berkeley County School District understands the importance of survey data and made every attempt to meet, as well as to exceed, the minimum response rates for each stakeholder group. Berkeley County School District encouraged parent participation by providing a link to the survey on our district’s website, Facebook page individual school webpages and websites.  In addition, a brief message, along with the survey web address, was printed on every student’s grade report and was communicated to the parents of every student via two Alert Now messages.  To meet the minimum response rate for staff, school administrators provided certified staff with a block of time to complete the survey during a scheduled embedded professional development session.  In an effort to meet the minimum response rate for students, an extended homeroom was scheduled to provide the identified student group with a device and with ample time to complete the requested survey at high schools and middle and elementary schools scheduled schools into individual labs.  Students in grades 11, 8, 7, 4 and 2 were selected to take the surveys. With the accommodations provided to both staff and students and with various methods of communication to parents, Berkeley County School District exceeded the minimum response rate for staff and students; however, only 11.9 % of parents in the district completed stakeholder surveys.
