Laveen Conducting Community Forums, Surveys
The Laveen Elementary School District wants to hear what you have to say about your school and your school district!
We will be hosting a number of town hall forums for parents, staff, and students to share feedback on their experiences with us. These sessions will be moderated by Hazard, Young, Attea, and Associates (HYA).
HYA has been contracted by the district as an independent third party to conduct a comprehensive, thorough, and productive community engagement process. The team’s goal is to provide the Laveen District with accurate information identifying and measuring community, parent, student, and staff perceptions of Laveen’s schools.
Please visit our Community Survey page for dates and locations of upcoming parent forums.
In addition to the forum, an online survey will also be shared with all families in the coming weeks.
