Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is it important to participate? How will survey feedback be used?
Feedback from the parent and staff surveys are used to:
Create recommendations for the Governance Board
Guide the Governance Board in their reviews of the Administrative team
Monitor progress toward Stargate’s goals
Inform the State of the School presentation
Q: Is the survey really anonymous?
Yes. The survey is completely confidential. No identifying information from any participant will be attached to any answers that participants provide in the survey. Although UNC’s Social Research Lab will have emails on file confirming who completed the survey through their Qualtrics platform, this data is not connected to how participants answer questions. Essentially, the Social Research Lab follows the ethical policies and procedures of any higher education institution for protecting participants' identities. Comments are summarized and filtered to further protect privacy.
Q: Who will see the data collected?
Anonymous survey data collected by UNC Social Research Lab will be shared with the Governance Board and with parent and staff members of the School Accountability Committee. Data may be shared with other governing bodies if necessary. Numerical data will be presented to the community as part of the State of the School presentation. Comprehensive survey results - including summarized, filtered comments deemed relevant to staff improvement - may be presented to the staff.
Q: What if I have more to say about a survey question?
This survey is intended to be a high-level overview of community opinions. If you feel a question does not allow enough detailed perspective, we invite you to share your specific thoughts in the comment boxes provided at the end of the survey.
Q: Are other surveys conducted throughout the year?
The School Accountability Committee conducts two confidential stakeholder surveys each year, one to parents/guardians and the other to Stargate staff. Both surveys are typically conducted in January or February.
Q: Where can I find data from previous stakeholder surveys?
