Below are the results of the Pine-Richland School District's Stakeholder Survey based on the 2024-2025 school year. This was downloaded from the district website and is shown in its original form. We've listed some notable percentages percentages below:

• Only 44% of parents surveyed report they are satisfied with the visibility and engagement of the school board, down from 62% in 2024 and from 78% in 2020.

• Just 39% of parents surveyed say they are satisfied with communication from the school board. This is down from 64% in 2024 and from 83% in 2020.

• A mere 30% of staff (teachers, counselors, librarians, etc.) surveyed report satisfaction with the level of communication from the school board. This is down from 56% in 2024, 71% in 2023, and 93% in 2020.

• Just 23% of staff surveyed are satisfied with the board's visibility and engagement. Compare this with 49% in 2024; 65% in 2023; and 91% in 2020.

• Among those surveyed, only 26% of parents support increasing class sizes instead of raising property taxes and 24% of parents would prefer to see cuts to programs and courses than an increase in property taxes. This is noteworthy because the school board majority ignored parental concerns when they voted against a moderate tax increase for the 2025-26 school year. The board will inevitably need to increase class sizes and cut programs in order to deal with a looming budget deficit.
