CRC survey coming to MASA members

 

By now, MASA members should have received a survey from the Citizens Research Council collecting information about the many services provided by Michigan school districts and the methods used for their provision.

This is a legitimate survey request, and we encourage MASA members to respond to the CRC survey and return the material at your earliest convenience. The survey will provide vital information:

• to district leaders, who are looking for best practices and innovative ways to provide services;
• to state policymakers, who may not understand how much cooperation is already taking place or the legal and political barriers associated with some collaborative efforts; and
• to citizens, who may need a better understanding of everything that school districts do and how they do it.

This survey is part of a larger CRC study that is taking a comprehensive look at public education in Michigan. This study is eagerly anticipated by the school community and has been financially supported by the school community. It is in all of our interests to provide CRC with this information.
