2008-09 Central Administration Survey:
We want to hear from you! Your feedback, insights and ideas are very important to us. Please complete this survey through the link below. It should take about 15-20 minutes. This survey will be conducted annually and will be used across the District as a critical source of stakeholder input. There are three key areas of questions:
- Demographics – a few questions to assist in the analysis of the results
- Employee Satisfaction – generally trying to understand how you feel about Fort Worth ISD
- Superintendent’s Leadership, District Strategic Plan and Communications – provide a pulse on what’s working and what’s not
- Division / Department Customer Service –we are each ‘customers’ of each other, provide constructive feedback for the divisions and departments with whom you work with on a regular basis

Transition Camps were created by Secondary School Leadership in an effort to help 6th and 9th graders in their progression into the Middle or High school environment. Students are given the opportunity to meet other incoming students, improve their math and science skills, while learning pointers for success in their new school.
