A school operations survey is being delivered this week to Raymond School District residents’ paper boxes. Surveys will also be mailed to residents who do not have a paper box on their property.
The surveys are accompanied by a letter from the School Board explaining the board’s interest in receiving residents’ input about school operations. One piece of paper is being sent: one side contains the letter and the other side contains survey questions.
Completed surveys will help the board assess the sentiment of Raymond citizens in overall Raymond School operations and to act accordingly on those sentiments, the letter explains.
“This survey should not be interpreted as the School Board pursuing a referendum,” the letter notes.
Filling out the survey will take just minutes, “but the results could be important in determining future planning or discussion,” said Principal Joe Dawidziak.
Two surveys are being provided for each household, said Dawidziak. Both should be returned by Jan. 31 either to the Raymond School school office or mailed back in the postage-paid envelope included to: Raymond School, 2659 76th St., Franksville WI 53126.
Anyone with questions, contact Dawidziak by calling (262) 835-2929, ext. 101, or emailing [email protected].
For the school district to say that this survey should not be construed as a gauge on pursuing a referendum is not true. In the survey, a specific question is asked about supporting a referendum if presented with one in the future. The survey is nothing more than a gauge on public support for a tax increase.
