Required Action: Guidelines for Sending Surveys and/or Collecting Data

As a part of our North Star efforts at Heartland, we are working hard to coordinate all data collection activities across the Agency. We are doing this to both minimize the number of times staff and schools are asked to complete surveys and to ensure that the data collected will be used in decision making.

Recently, some Heartland staff have reported being asked to complete an excessive number of surveys over a short period of time. It was found that some of the surveys involved were not a part of the Agency’s coordinated data collection efforts. As a reminder, it is the Agency’s expectation that any survey sent out by a Heartland employee to Heartland staff, school staff or parents must be developed in consultation with and approved by the Innovation and Accountability team. A request form for development of electronic surveys will be available on the Intranet next week. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy, please contact Dave Tilly at ext. 14339.
