SURVEY OF OWNERS LAUNCHED BY SAINT LOUIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS

St. Louis – The St. Louis Public School District is seeking input from all the owners of the school system, including teachers, students, parents, business owners, and elected officials. Today, the District launched an online survey, which will be available through June 4, at http://www.slps.org/public_comment/school_improvement/.

“We want to know the areas where we need to focus in order to better serve our constituents,” said Superintendent Diana Bourisaw. “Our goal is to create the best choice in urban education.”

Thanks to a generous grant from Parsons Blewett Scholarship Fund, SLPS is in the process of a creating a continuous cycle of improvement for the St. Louis Public Schools. The survey will assist the district and its Board of Education in setting goals aimed at strengthening teaching and learning in every classroom across the district.

“The development of a sustainable cycle of improvement is quite different than previously undertaken ‘strategic plans.’ This process will provide us an on-ramp beginning next school by having us focus our energy, and professional development opportunities, on the identified needs of the district,” said Bourisaw.
