In July 2011, we sent our e-Letter subscribers a short survey asking about their concerns regarding their position and what obstacles they felt their school faced. This was the third consecutive year ISM asked its e-Letter subscribers to participate, and we were impressed with the response—especially considering we circulated the survey during the summer. In total, 932 private-independent school administrators responded—nearly an 8% response rate.
We have recorded all the responses and organized them by overall concerns, positional concerns, and the demographics of our respondents and their schools. As was true in the last two years, enrollment is still the majot topic of concern, totaling 385 responses. However, faculty morale issues are a close second, with 319 responses, with fund-raising and development issues right behind with 310 responses.
