Hello District 161 Families,
As promised, here is the survey that we are asking our families to complete regarding your
plans for returning to school in August. Please fill out the survey no later than noon on
Thursday, July 9th. That afternoon, we will analyze the data and build it into the information
that the Board of Education will discuss on Monday, July 13th at 4:00 p.m. The purpose of the
meeting on Monday, July 13th is to make a decision regarding the plans to reopen schools in
August.
I am so grateful to all of you who submitted questions, comments, and suggestions for
yesterday’s Board meeting and I hope you will provide that same level of engagement in our
survey as well. Currently, we are developing a Frequently Asked Questions document with all
of the great information that we have recently received. We are looking forward to collecting
your input and then sharing the data with the community. On Thursday evening, you will
receive the survey results, and all of the supporting information for Monday afternoon.
Sincerely,
Dr. Dana Smith, Superintendent
