\"KPBSD<\/a>Please take a brief survey<\/a><\/span>\u00a0for parents\u00a0<\/strong>open February 22 – March 11, 2017, to share your perceptions and thoughts about the six early release days for students.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

KPBSD staff is also completing a similar survey.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach school day, more than 1,200 KPBSD employees do all that they can to provide a quality education to our district\u2019s students. A part of this work is our continuous improvement process that requires us to regularly evaluate our practices so that we can in turn, make the necessary changes to help our students\u2019 find success. An intricate piece of our improvements is our professional development for our certified staff.
\nWith the need to do more for our staff in this area, for the past four school years we designated six school days as minimum days\u2013with a 90 minute early release for students, while staff works a maximum day in order to deliberately devote time to collaborate and collectively address the learning needs of our students.
\nNow that you are familiar with these shortened student school days, we want to receive your feedback. Please complete these questions, and provide your optional comments.\u201d \u2013 Sean Dusek, superintendent<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
