Cleveland ISD has implemented a new shared vision and mission with guiding documents. Our shared vision was created by stakeholders for stakeholders, including parents and students. Throughout the school year, we will survey our families on three occasions to measure our progress in implementing the shared vision and determine areas where continuous improvement is needed. Additionally, this survey will provide a high-level overview of our families' perceptions of their overall CISD experiences. Open-ended responses at the end of the survey will allow you to provide more specific information that may not have been asked or addressed in the questions listed in the survey. If you have students enrolled at multiple campuses, please complete one survey for each of the campuses your children attend.
The Middle of the Year [MOY] survey is open January 22-February 2, 2024. Data collected in this survey is anonymous, and we ask for and appreciate your authentic insight and feedback. The Strategic Planning Team will use the survey results in February to reflect on our progress and make any adjustments to our implementation plans. Please take the time to participate in our survey. Your feedback is critical in our continued pursuit of a shared vision for all stakeholders, especially our students. Thank you in advance for your time and continued commitment to Cleveland ISD.
