Why does AISD survey students and how does the district use the information?
AISD surveys students, staff and parents to have access to feedback regarding the services provided by the district so that district and school leadership can better understand needed areas of improvement. District campuses and departments use the aggregate data collected in surveys to inform decisions in order to provide the best education possible for kids.AISD surveys students about matters such as the climate and culture of their schools, their preferences for coursework, which foods they like best in the cafeteria, and their wellness.
Privacy with online student surveys:
Individual student survey responses are not viewable by any AISD employee. However, individual student responses can be extracted by Panorama staff and shared with a student’s parents, upon request.Student survey responses are stored on encrypted servers with Panorama for 5 years following completion of individual surveys.
