VSB Your Voice Survey Summary Report YOUR VOICE SURVEY SUMMARY Conducted by On behalf of the and February 2012 Introduction In January 2012, the Vancouver School Board, in conjunction with the Vancouver Parks Board, launched a public consultation process on PlaceSpeak to determine the future of Vancouver schools. The first phase of the consultations was a survey intended to help the Vancouver School Board understand what parents, community members and staff and teachers value in their communities and schools across the district. The survey was an opportunity to provide input on the programs and opportunities that the School Board offers now and those that they may need to provide their students and community members so that they are ready for the future. This report is a summary of the feedback obtained through the survey respondents. The results give a general overview of the priorities of the respondents towards various Vancouver School and Parks Board program areas, as well as the interest of the respondents to participate in an online discussion on these areas. Format The Survey was launched in late December 2011 and remains active at the time of reporting. For the purposes of analysis, the reported data includes all surveys completed up to January 31st, 2012. Website analytics were collected for the period January 1st to 31st 2012. In total here were 13 questions in the survey. The questions were grouped into six sections: 1. Overview: Questions regarding respondents’ relationship to the Vancouver school system. 2. Your Schools: Questions regarding respondents’ interest in learning about and discussing various school programs. 3. Your Community: Questions concerning the relationship of schools to respondents’ neighbourhood. 4. Your District: Questions concerning the entire Vancouver School District. 5. Your Parks: Questions regarding respondents’ interest in learning about parks and recreation services available in their neighbourhood. 6. Your Turn: An opportunity for respondents to provide open-ended comments. 1 Participation Through January 31st, 270 people connected to the topic on PlaceSpeak, with 217 respondents completing the survey. Since then, an additional 21 respondents have taken the survey. The data are not included in these results. Figure 1: Map of Connections (as of February 14, 2012) Figure 2: Distribution of Survey Respondents (As of January 31st, 2012) 2 Highlights and Recommendations Interest in Learning More The 5 topics that respondents were “interested in learned most about” are: • Regular K-12 Programs (Schools) 79% • VSB Strategic Plan (District) 70% • Arts and culture programs (Parks) 67% • Recreation, leisure, and sports programs (Parks) 65% • Community amenities connected to schools (Community) 62% Interest in Online Forums The 5 most popular topics for “discussion in an online forum” are (based on average score on a 5-point scale, with 1 being “not interested” and 5 being “very interested.” • Programs/Services at schools (Schools) 3.97 • Regular K-12 Programs (Schools) – 3.92 • VSB Budget (District) 3.7 • Strategic plan (District) 3.68 • Community amenities connected to schools (Community) 3.65 The most popular Parks and Recreation topic for discussion in an online forum is Park, nature and environmental programs (3.5/5). Recommendations PlaceSpeak has two main recommendations. First is to prepare and promote informational materials of the top five topics. We recommend a starting with Regular K-12 Programs to engage parents and teachers and Community amenities connected to schools to engage the broader community, including residents interested in Parks Board activities. At this stage this information can be a repackaging of existing materials highlighting what is current being offered. The information materials can then be used to inform the discussion in online forums hosted on PlaceSpeak. We recommend holding 2 consecutive online forums of between 10 and 14 days each. For each discussion topic, we recommend developing 3 to 5 guiding questions to stimulate discussion. These questions should be asked on alterative days (i.e. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday or Wednesday, Friday, Sunday). Another topic ripe for discussion forums is the VSB Budget. Given the importance (and sensitivity) of this topic, however, we recommend scheduling an online discussion forum as part of the overall budget preparation process and not necessarily alongside the other discussions. Of special note is the fact that residents in the Southeast sector were particularly interested in not only learning more about most topics, but also in engaging in online forums. Respondents from this sector ranked among the most interested in nearly are the questions. 3 OVERVIEW Overview: Relationship to the Vancouver school system Figure 3: Relationship of Respondents to the Vancouver School Board Overall, the highest number of respondents were Parents, representing 60.4% of the total.
