The Panorama survey is once again being utilized by Hamilton Southeastern Schools, and the local organization Fishers One is encouraging local parents to “opt-out” of the survey.  The deadline to opt-out this school year is October 15.

Fishers One takes issue with some of the survey questions.  HSE Schools say the student responses are anonymous and the data is “designed to capture student voice and allow students to express their perspectives about teaching and learning, culture and climate, and their classroom experiences.”

Fishers one also raised questions about confidentiality and third party use of the data, how parents can access specific results and how the Panorama data is used in academics.

HSE Schools point to an extensive Q&A resource on the district’s Web site, which can be accessed at this link.
