PTSA Survey Identifies Parents Concerns

Thank you to the 114 people who took all or part of the LH PTSA End of Year survey last June.  We asked you about advocacy with the following question:

"A major function of the PTSA is to advocate for Liberty students at the school, district and state level.  Is there any problem/issue facilng Liberty studetns that your feel the PTSA should be working to resolve?" 

About 40% of those taking the survey, felt that there is an issue that the PTSA should be working on.  Though the issues varied,  some themes did emerge: including  improving student services, improving communications between teachers and families, ; (3) participate in the debate on the A/B schedule; (4) work to improve the school environment; (5) advocate for funding issues such as decreased class size, continued varied opportunities, and at the state level; (6) advocate for equity between the high schools; and (7) specific issues related to curriculum.  The main areas of concern were the a/b schedule and equity among the high schools.  We appreciate your time in providing the areas of concern that you see and plan to stay involved in the discussions related to these topics to encourage improvement.

Our Legislative Chair works with others around the State to encourage legislation related to funding, class size, and learning opportunities at the state level.  You have the opportunity to also be part of this discussion by attending the Legislative Roundtable in November and Focus Day in January.

At the school and district level, the Co-Presidents will be involved in discussions related to equity among the schools and also the A/B schedule.  The response to the survey indicate that parents are not uniformily for or against a possible change to the A/B schedule.  As we want to represent our members, we plan to survey our members on their position on the A/B schedule.  Please watch for this survey coming in the next few months.
