As a part of federal accountability within our school system, we must assess parent attitudes/perceptions about the educational program and facilities available in the Decatur County School System.
Please take a few minutes to complete the annual school system survey for each of your children: https://forms.gle/RAdBZNXiEjYRcWH9A
Please take time to fill out the brief survey. This is so that federal programs can compile accurate data to address the system needs of schools.
Please fill one out per child.
