PCSD Workplace Survey

In order to conduct a fair and equitable survey with ample opportunity to explore both positive and negative feedback on a wide variety of PCSD topics that affect employees, we worked closely with an outside firm. To encourage participation, this survey was not issued by or through PCSD’s District Office and all participants remained anonymous. 

Out of 431 PCSD employees emailed (those publicly available through PCSD minus

those emails returned as ‘undeliverable’), we had 79 respondents. This external survey had an 18 percent return rate. This rate is below the desired response rate for an employee satisfaction survey. However, within hours of survey delivery to employees, the PCSD District Office and Principals issued emails to employees discouraging participation, including such language as: ‘I wanted to let you know that you may have received an email to complete a survey from ’, Please ignore the email at this time. I am not sure where the email is coming from or where the data from the survey is going.’, which we believe had significant impact.
