Dear Fabuland Public Schools Parent:
The following survey is part of the district's effort in collaboration with the Technology Advisory Committee to assess how computer and information technology is currently used to support teaching and learning across the district. We realize that there are many different points of view and opinions related to how the district should implement its technology plan, and this survey is one way in which we will be gathering information on those varied opinions and experiences. In addition to this survey, we will also be surveying teachers and administrators as well as conducting teacher/administrator/parent/student interviews.
We will analyze this survey's data in aggregate to determine an overall picture of parent responses across the district. We will not track the responses from individual respondents, and therefore all of your responses will be anonymous.
Thanks in advance for your time and candid responses,
The Fabuland Public Schools Department of Information Technology and Sun Associates
