This survey was emailed to 340 teachers, support staff and administrators in the School District of University City and 62 responses were received between November 28 - December 8, 2006.This was a confidential non-scientific survey and software limited responses to one per person.
Some of the survey data is compared to previous survey data from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education in 2004. DESE surveys all Missouri school districts every five years. Should the School District of University City question the authenticity of these survey results - we urge the school district or the St. Louis Post-Dispatch to distribute this survey to all district teachers and staff and we challenge the district to publish the results on the district's web site.
