Discussion of Survey from Parents and Survey from Staff regarding Calendar 2023-2024 – Mr. Peckens presented both parents and staff survey results. 71 parents filled out the survey. Main concern of parents was child care at the end of summer, in August. Majority of parents like our calendar. 25 staff members of 43 filled out the survey. Majority of staff like our calendar and longer days. Staff would support a third party coming in to service child care during summer. Staff like our calendar and like that we are different from APS. Ms. Tarango spoke about the surveys. The results show that we should look for either the school to have a child care service or have a 3rd party service starting August 1 of the school year. Lora Sedore said that in their next school advisory meeting they are going to talk about the survey results as well.
