Fremont Public Schools Reporting District Facilities Survey Results
Fremont, Neb. – (Feb. 23, 2021) Fremont Public Schools is reporting results from a survey used to gather input to begin to prioritize the district’s needs towards a potential bond issue that would be voted on in 2021.
The survey was open from January 7 – 15 and collected results from 1,477 community members and 791 students in grades 5-12. Survey respondents were self-identified as a parent, FPS staff member, business leader or community member. Those that identified as a parent with school-aged children also selected the grade level(s) of their child(ren) for further analysis.
“The District started the process of looking at our facilities more than a year ago,” stated Brad Dahl, associate superintendent. “The input gained from community members through the survey has provided valuable input into the process and certainly will help shape the scope and size of the bond issue.”
The results of the community’s input have given the district four main conclusions to use as plans are made for the bond issue.
- The community and students generally feel that Fremont Public Schools facilities are in good condition.
- Knowing there will be a no tax levy increase, 84% of respondents are very or somewhat likely to vote for a bond issue in 2021.
- 84% of respondents will support a bond issue with the following levels of support
- Respondents are most supportive of projects that address safety and security, technology, energy efficiency, upgrades to air quality and addressing our elementary buildings.
“The survey results are important in identifying the District’s priorities and will be an important piece of data for the citizens committee to utilize,” stated Mark Shepard, superintendent of schools.
