To identify attitudes, concerns
PISD survey committee
to mail questionnaire
BY DONNIE HORTON
PISD Information Coordinator
On October 24, 1984, a comm-
ittee composed of community
residents and members of the
PISD staff met for the first of a
series of meetings to design an
opinion survey for the school
district. Members of the com-
mittee were told that the purpose
of the survey was to identify the
community's attitudes and con-
cerns about the school system in
order to develop an effective
communications program for the
school district. They were to
develop a survey instrument that
would give the public an oppor-
tunity to express their feelings
about the performance of the
school system and how well the
system was informing residents
concerning events and objectives
set by the educational commun-
ity.
All households in the Palacios
ISD will receive a copy of the
questionnaire in the mail soon
after Feb. 1. Everyone is re-
quested to complete the ques-
tionnaire and return it in the self-
addressed envelope by Feb. 22.
The committee emphasizes their
expectation that citizens are
willing to cooperate in respond-
ing. Since the information on a
return cannot be identified, all
individual responses will be
confidential. Residents who do
not have children in school or
have hvver had children in school
in Palacios are urged to complete
the survey.
It was explained to the comm-
ittee that an effective commun-
ications program is one that
attempts to inform the public
about educational goals, oppor-
tunities and philosophies and at
the same time creates dialogue
between schools and their pub-
lics. One benefit that could be
derived by district patrons from
this dialogue is the opportunity
for input into the process of
educational planning, another is
gaining access to administrators.
"through the exchange a school
administrator acquires a better
understanding of the needs of the
community, a greater knowledge
of the public's image of the
school and their perception of
how well it performs its func-
tion. Most importantly, increased
understanding and cooperation
will develop between school and
non-school people.
By participating in this survey,
the citizens of the Palacios
Independent School District have
the opportunity to begin a
meaningful dialogue with the
schools.
Members of the committee are
Abel Lucio, Jr., Jean Murry,
Martha Jenkins, Mary Egge-
meyer, Stella Martino, Travis
Washington, Richard Joyce, Bet-
ty Ramsey, Barbara Cunning-
ham, Doug Blanton, Nancy Bow-
ers, Maxine Hodges and Donnie
Horton.

1000 kilowatt hours per month
would result in a savings of S3.34
to $4.46 on their electric bills.
That represents approximately a
six percent reduction in the price
residential customers currently
pay for electricity. The actual
savings will depend on the indi-
vidual customer's total energy
use. Other customer classes
would realize similar decreases.
CPL, which has not filed for a
rate increase since March 1982,
told the commission it has no
intention of filing for such an
increase during the first quarter
of 1985.
