A. Survey Update

Dave Nichols commended the members of his committee for their perseverance in getting the data from the survey compiled and entered. Dave presented a summary “Top-Line Report” with 100 surveys still to be entered. An update will be submitted to the Bulletin and Quicklets.
Lisa distributed copies of the results of the 6-7-8th grade surveys collected last May. She completed the laborious task of listing every single comment submitted by the students. Copies of this data will be given to Jean Margello, Jodie Bender and Tim McManus right away so that changes can be implemented before the current 8th graders leave at the end of this school year.
