Survey questions include:
What do you VALUE / APPRECIATE MOST about the San Carlos School District (SCSD)?
How could SCSD DO MORE of what you VALUE MOST over the next five years?
Is there anything you think SCSD should DO BETTER / IMPROVE over the next five years to make our schools the best they can be?
What CHALLENGES do you think SCSD will most need to address over the next five years?
Is there anything else you think we should consider or research as part of the strategic planning process? For example, do you know of any excellent programs or promising practices that inspire you and might be a good fit for our students / schools? If so, please provide examples, websites, links, program names, etc.
If you think about what the future might look like for our SCSD schools, what do you think would define WILD SUCCESS in 5-10 years? What would be different from today?
What are the most important qualities / skills / knowledge that you hope students will acquire during their time in SCSD schools?
