Strategic Planning Survey - Oskaloosa Christian School

Strategic Planning Survey

Dear Parents,

Oskaloosa Christian is established upon and maintains the basic principle that the education of our children is the responsibility of the parents and the extended Christian community. This Christian community has in turn established the Christian school to help provide an education that is God-centered.

Oskaloosa Christian conducts a needs assessment at least once every five years. Since the focus of education is on your children, we desire to have your opinions and ideas on what is being done. The information we receive will help the board and its committees evaluate the programs at OSCI.

We would appreciate your cooperation in completing this on-line survey. It is important we have a good response for this questionnaire so that we have the opinions of many rather than just a few. Thank you for your help and cooperation in this matter.

Sincerely,

Education Committee of Oskaloosa Christian School

Jolene Fincel, Chair Wayne Rozenboom
