Web-Based Tools Strengthen Ohio District's Community Connection, Survey Capabilities

By George Viebranz

For instance, each year we survey students as they leave the three levels of our system to solicit input and feedback for improvements. Typically, the surveys are conducted in paper form and are extremely labor-intensive to tabulate. This year we conducted our senior survey using Aspire. Not only was student response excellent, but our IT resources weren't tied up tabulating responses the way they've been in the past.

The application has real power as a survey tool. I'm excited about expanding the use of Aspire as a tool to gather data on how our students, parents and community members feel about different aspects of the school system. In addition, Berea City Schools will continue its increased use of Aspire in both its middle and high schools in the fall of 2003.
