| If you are contemplating a bond or levy issue in the next 12 months, think about what kind of information would be helpful in formulating your ballot questions and running a successful information campaign. You might want to know: -Are your patrons happy with the current state of the district? -Where do patrons think you could do better? -Are your patrons interested in the project(s) you want to pursue? -How much money are patrons willing to spend for new initiatives? -Where do patrons get their information about your district? This data – and much more – is what you will get from a statistically accurate telephone survey. And you won’t get it anywhere else – certainly not from online surveys, one-question polls, or gadget apps. “The survey results challenged assumptions we had made about our community, including their level of satisfaction with the district and their willingness to support improved teacher pay, despite challenging economic conditions,” said Dr. Brad Welle, superintendent, Grain Valley Schools (MO). “We also learned more than expected about our changing demographics that will help us plan for the future.” If you want to win with solid data, contact Rick Nobles at 913-484-9920 or rick@excellencek12.com. |
