Our goal is to track customer services.  For example, we don&#8217;t ask questions related to the latest gadget or gizmo&#8230; instead, we focus on fundamental customer service points &#8211;  as our belief is that quality customer service will always be needed regardless of the device.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the results from this years survey with staff, conducted in May 2014.</p>

<p><strong>Summary of the results&#8230;</strong></p>
<h2><strong>General satisfaction with response time and communications.</strong></h2>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;For the most part, the communication from the tech department has been great. I<br />
can tell the tech team values me and my time. They respond to my questions<br />
and concerns in a timely manner. I get the impression that they are trying to help<br />
me do my job, and I appreciate that.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;the technology department has always been very prompt when a work order is<br />
sent.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<h2><strong>dissatisfaction with PrintGroove&#8230;</strong></h2>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I am not good with print groove..&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<h2>Some, but not universal desire for 1:1&#8230;</h2>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Most important is student access to technology. One-to-one devices is a must. I feel like<br />
technology usage has been put on a back-burner by the district. Our students<br />
are behind!!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think moving towards 1-to-1 laptops would be useful&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<h2>More consistent Internet access&#8230;</h2>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;more consistent internet service&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Consistent internet access!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I am frustrated with internet outages.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<h2>Either excitement or hesitation about moving to Google&#8230;</h2>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Do not go to ONLY Google for all. Do not eliminate Microsoft use within the<br />
district.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p></blockquote>
<h1><strong>How do the results compare to prior years?</strong></h1>

<h1>How does the survey work?</h1>
<p>All staff receive a short on-line survey. Each question is a positive statement such as, &#8220;When members of the district technology departments visit my building, they are courteous and treat the staff and students with respect.&#8221;   Users are asked to rate the statement as: Strongly Agree,   Agree,  Disagree,  Strongly Disagree, or  I don&#8217;t know.</p>
<div></div>
<div>For the summary charts below,  <strong>% Strongly Agree + % Agree =  Approval rating (which is the blue bars below).</strong>  In other words, we only count if they positively agree with a statement.  If we scored a 90% approval rating, that means 90% of the responses were Strongly Agree or Agree.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>For the charts above&#8230;.</div>
<div><strong>Overall</strong> = How we did based on all survey responses</div>
<div><strong>Teachers</strong> = How we did based on classroom teacher responses only</div>
<div><strong>Support</strong> = How we did based on support staff responses only</div>
<p>What our staff thinks of our district technology services&#8230; 2013 edition</p>
