Churchill County School District has launched its first ThoughtExchange, a unique anonymous survey service, for the 22-23 school year. They are looking for input from all stakeholders including students, parents, staff members, community members, external partners, and family members regarding District communication.
“We need your input to understand what our stakeholders’ needs are regarding how we communicate in order to learn what’s most important to everyone. We ask that you think about what communication you are receiving that works well and what you would like to see us do better. We ask that you take into consideration the district's weekly newsletters, Facebook posts, phone calls, texts, and other communication methods as you generate your thoughts,” stated ChruchillCSD Public Information Officer Kaitlin Ritchie.
ChurchillCSD will be using stakeholders’ thoughts to reevaluate and restructure their communication process as a District to ensure they communicate effectively and efficiently. “We are using ThoughtExchange to collect ideas so everyone has a chance to share their perspectives and have a better understanding of what’s most important to various stakeholders," Ritchie said.
ThoughtExchange is the world’s number one discussion management platform education leaders use to solve complex problems and consult their stakeholders. Unlike traditional surveys, respondents feel more comfortable answering questions candidly because of the anonymity. It also allows participants to drive the discussion, unlike traditional surveys where the answers are already prepopulated.
“My favorite part about ThoughtExchange is that it allows raw and honest thoughts to be shared and rated making it easy for us to see what is most important to our stakeholders. With typical surveys, we asked the questions and provided the answer choices revolving around what was important to us. This is a game changer because it reveals what is important to our stakeholders. From previous ThoughtExchanges, we have been surprised at what the highest-rated thoughts are. We are truly getting some authentic data using this service,” Superintendent Dr. Summer Stephens said.
This Communications-focused ThoughtExchange will close at 10 p.m. on Friday, September 16th. The district asks stakeholders to share their thoughts and rate at least 20-30 of the thoughts that others have shared. Your participation is confidential, so no one will know who shared or rated which thoughts. People can go back as often until 10 p.m. on Friday, September 16th to rate new ideas or share more thoughts.
