We have completed our analysis of the results of the School Re-Entry Online Education Survey. Thank you to all of the parents/legal guardians who responded to the survey.
Your input helped the Division determine the level of interest parents/legal guardians have in online education for their children. Your feedback also helps us to determine how best to support those students whose families prefer online education.
Below is a summary of the survey results.
- # of participants: 3,735
- Response rate: approximately 65% of all parents/legal guardians (100% if one parent/legal guardian from each family responded)
- # of parents/legal guardians who requested online education for their child(ren): approximately 30%
What does this mean?
The survey results indicated clearly that there is enough interest in online education. Thus, GSACRD will create an online school for our students by re-allocating staff.
