6. If ISDB moved its campus to the Treasure Valley Area, which best describes your thoughts? (Check all that apply.)

If ISDB moved its campus to the Treasure Valley Area, which best describes your thoughts? (Check all that apply.) I would not consider relocating my child to the Treasure Valley area.

I would consider transferring my child to a Treasure Valley area school as a residential student.

I would consider transferring my child to a Treasure Valley area school as a day student.

I would consider having my child take advantage of extracurricular opportunities (i.e. social, athletic, enrichment)at a Treasure Valley area school.

I don't think it would have any impact on my child's education.

I am not sure what kind of impact it may have on my child.
