no, not the new Sherlock Holmer CLue game---but the one that will show how wonderful everything is and culminate with ..this is how much we will need $20-$25M to continue to provide that to you..
If they really wanted to know how the distict changed kids in house wise - they'd have done this BEFORE spending $150M on 3000 seats - as they already knew the NIU data was crapola.
OH how I wish they'd call me- but I am sure my name has been scrubbed from that list..

D204 wants to pick community's brain

Indian Prairie District 204 wants to know what you are thinking.
Recently the district's Board of Education approved a contract with California-based Center for Community Opinion in the amount of $17,750 to conduct a community survey.
"Our superintendent and board are interested in increased communication with our community," said Janet Buglio, director of communication services for the district. "The survey provides important feedback from the community."
District 204 Board President Curt Bradshaw said the survey will give residents a chance to provide thoughts on the quality of education in the district as well as customer service.
"Monitoring the district's performance and holding the district accountable in key areas is a critical function of the board," Bradshaw said.
The survey will also allow the district a chance to get to better know who the district's client is in terms of the number of students in the home and information such as age and grade, Bradshaw said.
Buglio said the information will be gathered through a telephone survey of 400 registered voters across the district.
"That number was selected as it provides a valid statistical sample of the district," Buglio said. "Calls will be made to both parents and people without children currently in our schools."
The data will be compared to the benchmark data collected in the 2005, which is the most recent, survey to see if any changes have occurred. Questions relate to the general satisfaction with the district and the educational programs and opportunities provided, Buglio said. There are also questions related to communications. The majority of questions are the same or similar to those in 2005, Bradshaw said.
"We'll be able to see how things have changed since then," Bradshaw said.
In general, the district received high marks from residents four years ago.
"We learned that our residents, by and large, felt very good about the quality of education they were receiving," Bradshaw said.
According to the 2005 survey results, 35 percent of residents gave the district an A when asked to assign a letter grade, and 41 percent gave it a B.
The consultant is expected to return the survey results to the district no later than Nov. 23.
