Shaker Regional School District Survey

 

The deadline to complete the Shaker Regional School District survey has been extended through midnight, Friday, December 11, 2015.  The Shaker Regional School Board culture survey is interested in receiving your input on how the district is performing and to determine potential areas for improvement.  Your responses to the survey, being conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, will be kept anonymous and the data will be reported only to the School Board in the aggregate.  If you decide to participate, you may decline to answer any question.  The following link can be accessed through any device with internet access.  Again, the survey will be available through midnight, December 11, 2015.
