Survey:  The district will be putting out 3 surveys for the schools to use.  The staff survey will be mandatory for all staff.  The parent survey and student survey are optional, though some will be randomly sent out to parents in the mail from the district.  BAAC was able to review the surveys and was proposed and voted to hand out the parent survey to all parents of Chipeta and have it scored by the district.  This survey will replace the school survey handed out every other year by the school.  The BAAC also voted against handing out the student survey.
