BRANDON-EVANSVILLE ISD

Minnesota Safe Learning Survey: May 2021 This survey is being conducted by the Wisconsin-Minnesota Comprehensive Center (WMCC) housed at the University of Minnesota’s Center for Applied Research & Educational Improvement (CAREI) in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) in order to gain insights from PreK-12 and Adult Basic Education educators, families, and students on their school experiences during the 2020-21 school year. This survey is being administered at three different times this year: February, May, and October 2021. This short 15-20 question survey is voluntary and anonymous. Your decision to participate (or not) will not affect your standing with your school, school district, the MDE, the WMCC10, CAREI, or the University of Minnesota. All questions were developed with input from Minnesota educators, families, and students. The purpose of this survey is to inform potentially needed support that individual districts, MDE, or other organizations may be able to provide. The results of this survey will be communicated through a statewide report. Thank you for your participation. Access the survey link: https://z.umn.edu/MNSafeLearningSurvey
