USD 218 is surveying the community about technology usage and skill level. The information obtained from this survey will be used by the local technology committee to create technology goals and objectives for the coming year. Even though you may not be directly involved with the school system, your responses are still needed as we strive to provide services to people of all ages within the community. Your input is valuable and very much appreciated.

Please answer all of the following questions honestly. All responses are completely anonymous.
