001It might not be, you might not be the person to ask this, but I know a similar survey was done with staff. Will we also get a report on that as well? >> Yep. That's coming this fall along with students and um I know this has been a particular interest of yours, Miss Ricard. We will figure out a way to publish all the data for our schools and our school communities. Um and so I just want to think through exactly what that looks like. But absolutely >> we'll just have to you know work on anonymizing his names are used. >> Yeah. And I thank you. I definitely understand that. >> Mr. Hitchback. >> Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you, Dr. Greenbell. U Mr. Camemer uh somewhat uh answered my question already, but I'm I'm hoping
002that maybe u it could be possible for us to understand the breakdown of the in sizes. based off of districts and schools and is there a trend that some of the schools or some of the the districts are seeing a a drop off on that participation? I think that would tell us a lot about you know whether you know district A or district B uh you know is is you know that might shed some light on satisfaction I think and give us a better understanding of say if there was low participation in one or two districts. So >> absolutely we can get you that data. >> Appreciate it. Thank you, Miss Rizzie. >> Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you, Dr. Greenbell, for the presentation. Yeah, I don't want to beat a dead horse. Um,
003our participation rate is below 5%, which means it's not stat statistically significant. >> Yes. Um and so I think in the future if results come out this way and if they're below 5% which is like the you know industry standard for stat statistical significance um then you got to push really really hard to get it above at least that 5% mark so that we can even draw any conclusions. I have a feeling that even if we break this down by school, the numbers are going to be so small that we won't be able to draw any conclusions. So, um I just wanted >> that is noted and I will make sure that moving forward we that is our we meet the industry standard. >> Thank you Dr. Harris Muhammed. >> Thank you Dr. Greenbell. Mr.
004cameras. Is this the year that the state sends out the culture and climate and safety surveys to elementary schools? Um because that's a part of this discussion as well. Um they both have to the data should be unpacked. Um if if it is the year for elementary school, the data that we collect from that should also be a part of your information in terms of how people feel in the building, how safe they feel in the culture and climate. We could find that out and see. Thank you. >> Yes, we'll uh explore that. I believe it is this coming school year. We did not, I believe, have it this past school year. >> That's what I mean. I'm I'm sorry. I should have said the 25 26 school year. Thank you. >> That being said,
005there are lots of changes going on at the state and so um uh we we will see. >> Thank you. Anyone else? >> Mr. Pible. >> Thank you, Madam Chair. Um thanks for this. So I I agree with with M Rzzy that we statistically we may not be significant but I think anyone would say that 1100 responses is a significant number. Is there any thought in number seven if this is a discovery process we look at number seven to have a followup survey that says hey why were you unsatisfied? Uh because I'm looking at this I mean just some back of the envelope math that's about 500 families that were dissatisfied with that question. So I I appreciate the slide with here's what we're going to do but does that align with what the families
006are experiencing? >> So at this time we did not have plans to follow back up but um we definitely can. I what I can also say is I can go to our open-ended responses and we can do a little bit deeper analysis to see if there any any indicators um as to why parents felt dissatisfied that were indicated in the open-ended responses as well. >> Thank you. Um I'm going to echo a lot of what has already been shared with my colleagues. Um but I'll start there since it's um fresh and top of mind. It would definitely be helpful in the future if um when you present these to have those openended responses. I'm not sure how you drill those down, how many they are, but I know in times past we've been able to
007read that information as well um to kind of give us a pulse check of what folks are sharing um and so that would be helpful um to just automatically have that included in the presentation. Um my other thought is similar to um I believe it was um my colleague Mr. pesh path and I'm very curious to see which districts are u responding and which ones are not and if we could really think through um how we can further engage to see what is the barrier in folks not responding um is it because of the structure of the survey I mean I think the amount is is reasonable, right? It's eight questions. Um so it's not overbearing, but just really at this stage want to get a better understanding of the heartbeat of the community and
008um you know, is it paper document? Like what is it that's are they not looking at information? Is it because it's only being sent out once or twice? I just I want to get a better understanding of um the overall strategy and maybe we can kind of poke holes in it and enhance it so that that it can be better better presented to the community. >> Absolutely. Thank you. Have >> Mr. Jafari and then Mr. Ritzy. >> Good evening Dr. Greenville. >> Good evening. >> Just so I'm clear on the querying process. often the way that we go after information to determine the results we get. So kind of walk me through the process. Do we use our family to do this or is this sent home with the student? Basically sent home with the
009student as a survey and the parent completes it and returns it or is it done online? >> It's it's done online. Um and we have for instance at a certain school you you might have a liaison set up the table um in the morning or in the afternoon as parents are coming in if we can do these this is typically just for our walkers not everybody is a walker um but to engage family members to tell them that there's the you know to scan the QR code to take the um the uh survey it's also listed in RPS direct every week that it's pretty much in rotation um so that families know that it is still open and accessible. Um we ask that principles um you know they know their buildings and their communities best
010that they also push this likewise to their families for participation. Um there are some other items I don't have them all off the top of my head but I can get you the specific strategies that we use to engage >> and that that's not necessary. I'm just trying to get a clear idea for understanding of the entire process, how we're going to go about engaging those who would walk by that table. >> Yes, >> that's always a challenge. I understand >> we we tend to do quite well with the face toface interactions. Um we also have if leaison um you know go do a home visit, they off often say hey you know this is a satisfaction survey that you can take. Um, sometimes it's a little bit more difficult with the individuals that you
011don't get that face toface opportunity. Oh, well has a question and then Mr. Cameron and then I have an additional thought. >> All right. Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, I just do want to run back to like knowing more about this data, having it be more statistically significant. Um, you know, someone like who's professor, right? If I get 3% of responses and that's what I'm based on in terms of like whether I get a raise or whether I'm, you know, a good, you know, people look at me as though I'm effective or not, I'd be really upset, right? Because it's such small sampling and that happens a lot, right? Where a bunch of kids together and say, "We don't like this person. Let's just do this." You know, um and so they can be manipulated
012when the sample size is so small. Um and and I would also when we're looking at who is or is not responding the size district-wise, I'd like to see like or could look at perhaps if there are any demographic trends like, you know, are English language learners less likely or students from a certain background and then how we could outreach with that information. Thank you. >> Uh two things. One team the interpretation is not working. So can you please try to address that? Uh two, we will set a goal of 15% uh overall and minimum for each school uh this school year. Thank you. >> Love it. >> We love that commitment. Um as we were sharing, one of the thoughts that I had was I I recall sometimes when you go to um certain
013locations or if you go on a trip or what have you, they automatically send that survey out when you go into the room and they talk about, you know, what to expect. They they say ahead of time, hey, we're going to have this survey come out. We'd love to get that feedback from you. And I say all that to say that maybe we can be more intentional about incorporating that in the expectation set to the parents at the beginning of the year, in the middle of the year, like baking into the material to say, "Hey, at a certain point this year, don't forget we're going to have this survey coming out." Um and we would love for you to part participate instead of just because they are getting a lot of information which is all
014great information but it kind can kind of get lost in the shuffle. So just a suggestion something to think about because I know um I get a ton of those when I go to different events and as we travel and different things like that and that's something they're very intentional about ensuring every time we see someone hey a survey is coming we would love to get more feedback. So that's the received. Thank you. All right, moving right along to >> me again. >> Yes, you again. PTAs and PTO's. So, while we are getting set up, uh this work is work that um was led last year um mostly by Matthew Stanley, our director of advocacy and outreach. Um it is now going to uh be transitioning to the work of Mr. Daryl Williams, our associate
015director of family and community engagement with support from Mr. Charles Page the third, director of family and community engagement. and I have a wonderful parent with me, um, Anna Mason, who served on our parent advisory council this year. Um, and so I'm going to go through the presentation and then offer Miss Mason anything that she would like to share about her experience um, working with the parent advisory council whose focus this year was specifically PTAs and PTO's. We're having some feedback or background noise system which is where before we move forward could we let's work through that because it's quite distracting. And I know you guys have been working hard to get everything back up and running, right? Apologies folks. I think we have everything taken care of. The feedback is resolved. We don't hear
016that anymore. We'll have someone on standby. We do have a technical issue with translation services, but there's going to be someone that stays online just in case someone comes in and needs an interpretation. So, I think we're covered there as well. Just want to make sure we have full transparency for our viewing public. And it sounds like we have feedback again. So, we're not quite there yet, but we're close. Give us just a couple more minutes to get this resolved. Where is it? I hope so. We're going to give it a good go and see yes how it how it flows. >> All right. Um, do I need to repeat anything or are we good to keep moving forward? Okay, sounds great. All right. Okay. Um so as I mentioned previously uh we have um
017our co-chair and that is who is with us um Miss Anna Mason um who is um really one of our essential pack members. We have two co-chairs and there's a list of those that we will share once I um oh there we go. Uh there's a list of all of our pack members. We had an Yeah, that's what we're going to do. So, um, what we're going to do have to do to resolve the issue is turn off the interpretation. Hello. Right. I will try to use this one. Okay. Hello. Okay. So, we're going to this is our list of our parent and caregiver advisory council. Um, we had representation from all nine districts. Um, one of the areas of growth that we would like to have um for next year is making sure that
018we have more multilingual presence um um as a part of our parent and caregiver advisory council. Thank you. That's a great question. No, seriously, we we would like to uh apologize for the inconvenience certainly to our Latino families for um not being prepared this evening. We will try to work this out and be back up and running by tomorrow evening's meeting. And we do thank you all for your patience and understanding. Thank you. So, if someone could just pull the plug, we can continue. >> Yes. Um, could we ask if our interpreter is still in the room to make that announcement that what's happening?
