As part the Mississippi School Board Association (MSBA) superintendent search process for the Attala County School District (ACSD), the board is requesting local media assistance with promoting an online survey to elicit parent and community feedback.
The survey can be accessed by any stakeholder in the school district and is anonymous. The results will be included in a stakeholder report given to the ACSD board members and serve as a basis for interview questions. The online survey will be open through Jan. 22.
Stakeholders may access the survey by visiting http://www.msbaonline.org/
