State Parent/Guardian Technology Access Survey
Danville CSD Parents and Families,
The State of Iowa would like to ask you about technology access for your household. This information will help in planning for next school year, should learning from home need to occur because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We understand that many of you have already filled out a survey that we sent out earlier. Our district encourages you to complete this survey so your technology barriers are known to the State.
• The survey should take less than five minutes to complete.
• The survey only needs to be taken one time for your entire household.
• In your responses, only include students who will be in grades preschool through twelfth grade, or participating in post-secondary education, during the 2020-21 school year.
• There is a drop-down in the upper left corner of the survey to change the survey language from English to Spanish. If your household needs the survey in another language, contact Superintendent Thomas Ward at thomas.ward@danvillecsd.org
Please click on the link below to take the short survey about the learners in your household. The survey will be available through June 24th.

If you have any difficulties while completing the survey, please email support_iowa@panoramaed.com, or contact our Superintendent Thomas Ward at thomas.ward@danvillecsd.org or Technology Coordinator Lucas Gourley at lucas.gourley@danvillecsd.org.
Thank you for providing this essential information!

With this virus holding a grip on many of us, it has made the Danville Community School District take a look on how we need to deliver services to ALL our students. Many reports express the concern of this reoccurring in the future with the possibility of more closures.
Through our Technology Coordinator, Lucas Gourley, the District has developed a survey concerning high quality internet in each of our student's homes not just having a "hot spot" location available.
We are asking each household with a student or students to please fill out the survey linked at the bottom or email your responses to connectivity@danvillecsd.org.
Connectivity in rural Iowa is a major issue of the inequality we face not only in education but in all walks of life. Over these past months we have seen families needing to work from home and at the same time try to provide online education for their students. This is an issue that needs to be addressed by our state and local governments, and not from any local school district.
Thank you for your assistance in this project and always "Go Bears".
Yours in education,
Dr. Ward, Superintendent
Lucas Gourley, Technology Coordinator
