Purpose of the Audit
With new leadership at the superintendent and communication department level, the Chester County Intermediate Unit (CCIU) has been retained by the District to provide insight as part of the strategic planning process. With input from all stakeholders, the CCIU will:
- Provide a comprehensive assessment of current communication efforts and the effectiveness of the overall program
- Create a snapshot of current perceptions about the school district
- Identify gaps in the district communication strategy
- Provide baseline research to evaluate progress and develop a framework for creating a communication plan
Group discussions with the KCSD Board of School Directors and Administrative and Executive Administrative Council contributed to an "ideals" document which will be used as the audit benchmark for communication strategy.
Data methods for the audit will include:
- Focus groups with administrators, faculty and staff, parents, and community members
- Surveys for all parents, staff, and community members
- Publication Analysis
- Website review
- Social Media Review
- Review of Current Comprehensive Plan
Two core assessments will inform the outcome:
- Strategic Review
- Functional Review
Upon completion of the data collection and analysis, the CCIU will present their findings to the Board of School Directors and the final report, as well as the recommendations from the Communication Subcommittee, will help guide the strategic communication plans for the District.
