McHenry County Blog

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, McHenry County Blog outlined information District 300 wants from parents of children in school. It came from a survey instrument sent home with every child.

I noted that a political consultant would find some of that information quite useful in running a campaign.

Today, let’s look at the requested “slice and dice” data.

The final page deals with personal demographic identifiers:

• Name of school,
• Length of time in the area,
• Two most important sources of information about District 300 schools--
  
  • Newspaper,
  • Neighbors and friends,
  • District 300 web page,
  • Teachers and administrators,
  • Students,
  • District 300 publications (newsletter, specifically mentioned), email, school meetings and
  • Other (I guess that’s where brave people put McHenry County Blog.)
• Ethnic background,
• Primary language spoken in the home,
• Level of involvement in District 300,
• Would you like to become more involved? (If so, give us your email or street address.)

Finally, there are two open-ended questions:

What are the strengths of District 300?

How can District 300 schools be improved?

Not a lot of space, though, so keep your answers short.

Missing is the question,

What are the weaknesses of District 300?

The questionnaire may be returned with the child (which would allow coding for the classroom or even the name of the family) by mail or it can be filled out on the internet.

I know. I’m just too suspicious.

Remember, you can enlarge the image to make it easier to read.
