Community Partner Voices

Data Gathering Plan: 

1. Partner with local decision-making bodies and groups to disseminate the information to community partners (SGT, SSC, ELAC, etc.)

2. Identify individuals, site leaders, and collaborative spaces that engage community partners (Wellness Center, Academy Directors, Department Leaders, Price Philanthropies).

3. Schedule Partner Focus Groups.

Part 1: Community Schools Sub-Committee Working Group Pullout - (3/2)

1. Preview Data Gathering Plan with the group and elicit critiques, alterations, and/or confirmation/consensus. 

2. Preview Partner Survey to the sub-committee to elicit critiques, alterations, and/or confirmation/consensus.

3. Preview Partner Survey to a current community partner to elicit critiques, alterations, and/or confirmation/consensus.

Part 2: Data Collection

1. Pre-work - Refine the process and the questionnaire per the feedback from the community schools sub-committee pull-out on 3/2. 

• Finalize a rough draft to be previewed by other various educational partners.

2. Implementation: 

Focus Group & Survey Implementation 

• Schedule potential focus groups. 

• A day or two before the implementation, send reminders to all participants.

• Focus Group Implementation: 

  • Run focus group questions

  • Identify strengths and opportunities for improvement

  • Identify the top three priorities

• Send out community partner needs/asset assessments to all parents via email. Make printed copies. Text survey link to all parents.

3. Follow-up:

Process Questions/Wonderings: 

1. Should the survey be anonymous or have them put down their name? 

2. Should multiple individuals from a single organization complete the survey or limit to one person? 

3. How long should the data collection window be? Should efforts overlap with other stakeholder groups, or should we focus on one group at a time? (first staff, then students, etc.)
