Providing real-time perspectives.
A resounding request has been to collect and curate data more relevant to our association of schools. This is a project we are committed to in the short and long term. In a fast-paced, dynamic environment, one avenue we are pursuing is deploying pulse surveys with various types of school leaders throughout the year. On a monthly basis, SAIS reports out on the real-time perspectives representing the voices in our association.
