The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is funding a research project designed to learn how departments of education in five states, including Kentucky, communicate with the school districts they serve.

As part of the project, a survey instrument has been developed to gauge the Kentucky Department of Education’s effectiveness in communications.

Education Commissioner Terry Holliday is asking that superintendents take a moment to complete the survey, which will help assess the current state of communication efforts and develop recommendations for improvements as needed.

The survey is located at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JZ585ZB.
