Data Collection

District data was gathered and shared with our facilitators while stakeholder feedback was collected via surveys and stakeholder feedback sessions. The District held in-person stakeholder sessions on October 26 for staff, on November 2 for parents/guardians and members of the community, and on November 3 for students in grades 9-12.  Surveys were shared with staff, students, parents/guardians, and members of the community from November 1-18.  

A "Word Cloud" is a data visualization technique... a collection, or cluster, of words depicted in different sizes.  The bigger and bolder the word appears, the more often it was mentioned by those participating in the "Word Cloud" exercise and thus, the more important it is to that set of stakeholders.
