2016 Student Assignment Survey Maximizing academic achievement by every student in every school is the core mission of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education. That’s why every six years it conducts a Comprehensive Student Assignment Review to inform a student assignment plan that helps prepare all students for college and career success. The review process started in February 2015 and is expected to continue throughout the year. On Jan. 29, the Board of Education launched a Student Assignment Survey designed to gain valuable feedback on what’s important to community members when considering their child’s education or public education overall. The survey, which concluded on Feb. 22, is an important part of the student assignment review process. The initial data released on Mar. 10 summarizes overall results for CMS and each Board district. Additional data reviews may be provided at the request of the Board. Results will be used to inform any changes to the district’s student assignment plan, which would take effect no sooner than the 2017-2018 school year. Below are highlights of the communication and community engagement plan to maximize survey participation: Translation
