The school district distributed surveys to MPS students, families and staff – as well as city residents – on Tuesday, Jan. 17. Some survey participants will have the opportunity to participate in focus groups later in the year.
Feedback will be collected through February to provide additional insight into the planning process. According to a news release, the information collected "will help MPS identify priorities and performance targets over the next five years."
