Bay Area Independent Schools
Learning Specialists Survey
In an effort to put an agenda together for the December 2, 2004 meeting, we thought it might be a good idea to gather some information on how this group could best meet your needs. In the interest of saving time, please respond to this survey before Thanksgiving. We will tabulate the results and distribute them at the meeting. We can then set up appropriate agendas for the remainder of the year. Please don’t forget to complete the open-ended comment sections so we can attempt to meet the needs of everyone. If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks
