Survey Auxiliary Needs Assessment Survey for Salem-Keizer 24J Step 1 of 10 10% Let's talk about student success! Oregon's Student Success Act, a historic reinvestment in our public schools, was signed into law this spring. When fully implemented, the Student Success Act will provide about $1 billion in additional funds for early learning and K–12 education each year. About half of the funds will go directly to Oregon public schools, through the Student Investment Account, to make improvements in four key areas: increasing instructional time, addressing health and safety needs, reducing class sizes, and providing a well-rounded education. Salem-Keizer School District 24J expects to access millions more per year to invest in educational improvements aligned with the district's Continuous Improvement Plan. Our school district must develop a plan for how to invest these additional funds to best support student success. We need staff, student, family and community voices in this conversation to help guide our spending plan. We want to hear from everyone, and to make sure all students are represented. The first step is to assess our current needs. We want to know your thoughts on what we are doing well and what we could improve in our schools. Input is being sought through this online survey. All responses will be helpful as we undertake this important process. This survey includes three sections of questions and may take about 10–15 minutes to complete, depending on how many comments you choose to include: • Your views on what is working well and what could be improved • A few quick questions about you and your relationship with Salem-Keizer School District 24J • Plus a final opportunity to provide additional comments or questions A summary of the input received will be shared with the community and the Oregon Department of Education, and will help inform the planning for these funds to improve supports for students.
