CETE Ohio Family Survey

Springboro Schools invites you to participate in this Special Education Family Survey. The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, in partnership with the Ohio State University, has selected Springboro Schools to participate in this year’s survey. Only the parents or caregivers of a child receiving special education services are eligible to participate. The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

You can access the survey via this link: CETE Ohio Family Survey

Additionally, in an effort to receive adequate representation of the perspective of all families, including our minority populations, the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce has provided this VIDEO.

This CETE Ohio Family Survey will be open until May 7, 2024.
