Thank you to all of the parents and caregivers who took the time to complete our survey over the past week. We received more than 4,500 responses, which will help immensely as we move forward with our planning.
The primary purpose of the survey was to gauge the number of students who are likely to participate in on-site learning in a hybrid model and how many are likely to remain in full-time remote learrning. Responses also shed light on our families’ existing concerns and priorities.
Highlights from the survey and links to the full results (district-wide and by school) are included below.

Survey Highlights
- Total number of completed surveys: 4,512 (As a reminder we asked for one survey per student, so this represents 4,512 students—about 80% of our current enrollment.)
- The demographics (race/ethnicity) of respondents' students closely aligns with our district demographics.
- Overall, 55.3% (2,497) indicated that they are likely to opt their child IN to hybrid learning (blend of on-site and remote classes) when available, and 44.7% (2,015) indicated that they are likely have their child continue with full-time remote learning, regardless of the hybrid plan details.
- We disaggregated the data for the main question across racial/ethnic groups and grade levels. The breakdown is as follows:
