FCPS Surveys Community
<bt>Fairfax County Public Schools has distributed surveys to selected parents, community members, local businesses and employees in an effort to improve its services. The surveys will help determine how the school system is delivering products and services critical to the success of its students and schools. Survey results, which will be reported during the summer or fall of this year, will be used to identify areas in which the school system is strong, as well as areas that, survey participants believe, need improvement.
The surveys were mailed late last week to approximately 12,000 randomly selected participants who are representative of school attendance areas and of racial and ethnic groups within the school-system pyramids. Participants are asked to complete the printed survey form or to complete the survey online at www.fcps.edu. All responses will be confidential.
