Planning for Annual Stakeholder Surveys
Our goal is for each survey to have a clear purpose and that we can align surveys when possible. In an attempt to reduce the number of surveys LCPS conducts this year, we would like to develop a division-wide survey calendar. The table below includes the surveys that will be sent this year, when they will be sent, and the population being surveyed.
Division-Wide Survey Overview
Each year, Loudoun County Public Schools conducts surveys of key stakeholders to inform our practices. The topics include school leadership; instructional practices; interactions between families, staff, and students; climate in the classrooms and schools, social-emotional and mental health, and other factors.
