Survey Results

As many repondents felt they did not have enough information to answer some questions, not all questions have the full number of responses. As such, if you want the results in percentages, see the linked results (don't try to divide and make your own, because they won't come out right).

The numbers are more indicative than the percentages, as they can be understood to say: "___ numbers of students, parents, employees, alumnae sent a message to the Board expressing ____."


Overall, 364 members of the community sent messages to the Board clearly expressing their displeasure.
