Parent Homework Survey
Nationally, seven in ten teachers assign homework that requires Internet access and digital equipment. But an estimated five million households in the United States with school-age children do not have Internet access at home, and/or other required resources. Students that fall into this “homework gap”—households where Internet access is limited or unavailable—lag behind in education and are less competitive in the workforce.
The State of North Carolina wants to help ensure no public school student falls into the homework gap. To do so, the state needs to know how widespread the homework gap is and potential challenges students face in accessing digital resources.
To identify this data, NCDPI Digital Teaching and Learning staff will partner with the Broadband Infrastructure Office and the Friday Institute to conduct a survey of North Carolina households with K-12 students. We encourage you to share this survey with parents and caregivers in your community so policy makers and education stakeholders can design solutions to address this issue.
The anonymous, short survey is available in English and Spanish (Encuesta de Accesso a Internet K-12 en el Hogar). The survey closes April 30. If you have questions, concerns or feedback, please contact the Broadband Infrastructure Office or 919.754.6695.

Parent Survey
Johnston County and all of its schools are engaged in an ongoing continuous improvement process, of which all stakeholders are an integral part.
Johnston County is using the AdvancED Parent Survey as a means to elicit your opinions to help target areas for the school system to improve and areas to continue to be effective.
The five sections on the survey represent the five AdvancED Standards for Quality School Systems and provide a means for learning about parent expectations of a high-quality school system.
The online survey will be available until March 24.
Your opinion is important to us and your cooperation and support in completing the parent survey is greatly appreciated. Please be assured that your responses to this survey will be anonymous.
If you have any questions about this survey, please contact your student’s principal. Thank you in advance for supporting Johnston County Schools’ improvement efforts.
