2020-2021 Comprehensive Needs Assessment Planning Survey

1. What would you say are the strengths of Petersburg ISD?

2. What would you say are the weaknesses of Petersburg ISD?

3. What do you believe should be the core values of Petersburg ISD?

4. What do you believe should be the non-negotiables that Petersburg ISD will not compromise on when decisions are made in our school district?

5. What do you believe should be the long term focus and goal of Petersburg ISD when it comes to the education and experiences we provide to our students?

6. What additional instructional programs or courses would you like to see Petersburg ISD offer to our students?

7. What additional CTE courses, career pathways, or industry-based certifications would you like to see Petersburg ISD offer so that our students have a better chance to be career- or work-ready when they graduate?

8. As we prepare for the construction of our new school building and tearing down our current building, what items would you be interested in purchasing from the current school building? Please list as many items as you can think of.

9. We have had some interest expressed by some of our students and parents to add softball and baseball to the list of sports that we offer for our students to participate in. Would you support adding these two sports?

10. Would your child play baseball or softball if the school offered those sports as an extracurricular option?

11. Would adding baseball and softball cause your child not participate in any of the current extracurricular programs that we currently offer during the spring (FFA, band, track, etc.)?

12. Would you be in favor of 9-week grading periods instead of 6-week grading periods? This would be similar to what colleges do with mid-terms and finals. We would have four grading periods instead of six. Progress reports would be sent out every three weeks. The eligibility schedule is already addressed in UIL rules. The main purpose for looking at the change would be to allow teachers to have more instructional time during a grading period so they can properly assess student learning and provide intervention and support on a more data-driven level to students that are struggling.
