SHOREHAM-WADING RIVER CSD STRATEGIC PLANNING SURVEY

Introduction

The Shoreham-Wading River Central School District Board of Education has begun a strategic planning process, which will be coordinated by the Superintendent and members of a Strategic Planning Committee. It is intended that this process will result in a succinct set of measurable goals for improving the school district over five years beginning in 2019-2020, based in part upon the input of school district stakeholders.

Following this initial survey approach to gaining such input, focus groups and/or open meetings will be held to gain more specific input on the needed improvements to be reflected in the five-year goals. YOUR ASSISTANCE IS REQUESTED BY COMPLETING THIS BRIEF SURVEY BEFORE DECEMBER 14, 2018. Your responses will be anonymous. Thank you for taking the time to help plan a successful educational future for Shoreham-Wading River students.
