Parents of Pasadena Unified School Children Asked To Respond to Online Survey to Help District Improve

The Pasadena Unified School District has teamed with the Pasadena Education Network to ask local parents whose children are enrolled in any one of PUSD’s 23 schools and academies to complete an online survey. 

Parents are being asked to share their experiences and insight about PUSD’s academic programs, athletics and extracurricular activities, safety and security, communication and responsiveness, and faculty. 

The results gathered in the survey will help PUSD make more effective decisions and implement strategies for improving local public schools and serving the community better. 

The survey started Thursday, July 7, and closes on July 31, PUSD said. 

“Listening to our people within Pasadena Unified is a priority, and we become better servants of the public when we hear from our families,” Jennifer Hall Lee, a member of the PUSD Board of Education who’s on the survey committee, said. “We encourage our parents to share their experiences, thoughts, and ideas with us through the School Experience Survey so we can continue to build and transform and prepare students for the future by inspiring the joy of learning in every child, every day.”

Nancy Rose Dufford, executive director of PEN, said their group is optimistic the results will be used to develop both short and long-term strategies to encourage more families to get their children into PUSD schools. 

“We are excited to work with PUSD so they can more effectively retain their current PUSD students, attract new families to our schools, and better serve and collaborate with families so all students benefit,” Dufford said. 

Parents who wish to participate in the survey can access it through www.pusd.us/survey#school_experience.
