[ProgressiveEd] Individual School Survey -- Urgent

[BYMJSK4@aol.com]

Dear school staff and school leaders,
The questions below are intended to help you describe your school.  Please 
feel free to change, delete, or add questions that help you describe your 
school.  We need immediate replies because we are going to collate all of the 
responses we get today and early tomorrow (Friday) and forward them to the 
chancellor and the mayor.  Part of the urgency is because regional 
superintendents are meeting this weekend to set up networks.  We have a 
contact with the mayor who will make sure that our responses are hand 
delivered.  Thank you for your immediate reply.
Bruce Kanze
