Community ISD Survey

Community ISD Strategic Plan Survey

Community ISD is engaging in a strategic planning process designed to create goals and objectives which will be incorporated into a five-year plan for the District. The Strategic Plan will help ensure that all of our energies and resources are being dedicated to the right areas to guide the District to success.

The mobile-friendly survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and is designed to gather feedback from all members of the CISD community, including homeowners, community partners, students, staff and parents.

Results of this survey will be shared with a planning team, which will provide recommendations to the board of trustees. Your input is very valuable and we appreciate you taking time to complete the following survey.
