We recently asked parents to complete a survey about concerns regarding returning to school next month. Here are the results of that survey.
- There was low opinion and not much support regarding the Hybrid Option which required alternating days of 50% student attendance.
- Based on variability of the comments and data, it was apparent that parents want a choice. The choice would be to either send their children to school for In-Person Learning or to choose the option of Remote Learning at home.
- What follows is the hard data from the Parent Survey. 675 surveys were completed along with 279 comments.
