To help identify and improve gaps within Frisco ISD, the district has sent out a survey open to parents, students in grades 4-12, and all staff members. 

“We believe that the best learning opportunities happen when we partner with our community,” Frisco ISD Superintendent Dr. Mike Waldrip said in a news release. “That’s why we’re empowering our stakeholders to help us build a bright future for all our students.”

AP Calculus BC teacher Jennifer Rumery emphasizes the value of the survey and creates some of her own surveys to help her in the classroom. 

 “It’s questions about administration, communication, how the academic programs are going,” Rumery said. “I think it’s important to get feedback because everyone can get in their own little bubbles. I do give surveys. I did them every unit last year but less this year, just to gauge what’s going right and what’s not.” 

For students like junior Olivia Chamberlain, opportunities to give input to the district are necessary from a student’s standpoint. 

“There are a lot of times when I don’t like how a certain teacher’s teaching or how a certain curriculum is so I think it’s productive for the district to take into consideration how the people being affected feel,” Chamberlain said. “Some of my teachers ask us to do surveys and they usually do something at least so I know they work.”
