AEA Customer Satisfaction Survey to Launch Next Monday
It’s that time of year again when we ask that you fill out the AEA Customer Satisfaction survey. Next Monday, March 5 you and your staff will receive an email asking to complete the 2011-12 AEA Customer Satisfaction Survey. The Subject line of the email will read “Requested Action: AEA Customer Satisfaction Survey.” The survey will be available March 5 through April 6, 2012.
The survey provides us with your insight on how to improve our services to your school(s) and students. The more feedback we receive, the more comfortable we will feel making program decisions that benefit all schools in the Heartland area.
We will send a reminder in late March to insure that all district staff members have a chance to participate. Since the survey is anonymous, we have no way of knowing who has contributed and who has not. You are only asked to fill out the survey once. After you complete the survey, you may disregard the reminder notices.
Please remind all your staff to participate. We look forward to your input!
