VWHSRC SURVEY The Valley High School Review Committee (VWHSRC) was appointed by the boards of WOCS, CCES, JCS

& CCHS.

Their mandate is to recommend how these schools can best work together towards the goal of

continuing to provide sustainable reformed high school education to our community.

The committee's task is to define current challenges, develop and evaluate options for the future, and

then recommend a solution considering the demographics of our community, the physical school

facilities currently delivering this education, and the funding and finance required.

To accomplish this, we need the input of as many supporting society members as possible and this

survey one way for you to provide that input. The results will be incorporated into a report to the boards

that is scheduled to be completed in the spring.

Note that only questions 1 & 2 that are marked with an asterisk are required. If you would rather not

answer a particular question, or you don't understand what's being asked, you can skip it.

The survey is anonymous and you are encouraged to respond to the open-ended questions at the end

with as much detail as you'd like to share.

This survey will close at the end of September, so please don't wait to complete it later!
