In March of 2013, we asked members to complete a HE'E Satisfaction Survey. We wanted to disclose the results of the survey. They are listed here.  There were 14 members who participated in the survey.  One item of interest is the results of question number 7, "What issues are you currently working on would like to work on?"  The top three priorities were, "identifying best practices and modes in schools for family-school partnerships," "supporting an early learning system,"  and "addressing innovating funding for 21st century schools."  Our effort to put together a family-school partnership action list was influenced by members' feedback.  Please note that the results for question number 4 was not consistent as some members answered with 5 being the highest rating. while others answered with 1 being the highest rating. Mahalo to those who participated!
