Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks to all who are taking the time to complete our short survey about the school data. Our fantastic web programmer says: "This is so impressive!!! I have NEVER had this sort of feedback turnaround. Usually users of websites are so passive... this tells me that 1) there are lots of visitors, 2) they really care about what they're viewing."

As of Tuesday, November 6th at 4:30 pm, we’ve had 152 respondents. The breakdown looks like this:

We receiving great feedback, and we will attempt to keep improving the site. Many of you are asking for more data—please be aware that this first attempt was just to get us going; so for example, we haven’t included many of the really good things you’ve asked for. Some of the most common requests:

• "I guess what I was really looking for was how the district was spending the money."
• Test score rankings
• All districts, not just those with operating referendum
• "If there was a way of posting the language of the referenda and brief synopsis of what that means in respect of the data shown, that would be most helpful."
• Showing how the requested levies changes the financial picture

It’s also good to know where we’ve been helpful:

• "The data you provide is absolutely wonderful! Thank you very much. I have spent many countless hours trying to find certain things and your site answered many questions in about 3 minutes! Thank you Thank you Thank you."
• "I wish I had known earlier about your program and website. (I heard about it on "Almanac" last Friday.) I would have "advertised" it and sent many community members here for unbiased info. Thank you.
• This is excellent information. Unfortunately people tend to want information that supports their position. We have become polarized.
