At the September and October meetings, our GCISD School Board discussed a survey to help GCISD Board members and administrators to create a positive culture and climate. Feedback from the survey will be discussed at future board meetings and used to implement any identified needs. This survey is completely anonymous (no personally identifiable information or IP addresses will be recorded) and will be open for responses until 10/27/23. To help in the data collection, please take the time to complete one survey for each campus on which you have a child enrolled and only complete the survey if you have a child enrolled in GCISD. Thank you for your consideration in completing our survey and helping us to become as great as we can be.
