Did You Know…?

 Region 15 hosted a series of parent focus groups to listen and learn about what is working in our schools and what may need improvement.

   At each of the District’s seven schools, parents were randomly selected and invited to attend a focus group. The sessions were designed to elicit candid feedback from parents to such questions as: How can we improve service to our students and parents, and how can we improve the budget development process?

   Overall, school administrators found that parents are very pleased with the education their children receive in Region 15. Many parents reported that their decision to move to the area was a direct result of their research into our school district. There is always, however, room for improvement.

Areas of concern identified by parents were:

• Communications
• Facilities
• School Safety
• Curriculum and Instruction

• Understanding the School Budget Process

In coming months, administrators will utilize the information they received from the focus groups to better address the District’s strategic planning and budget setting process.

Together we can build a better school system for our children and the community we live in.
