From staff reports
The Beaufort County School District (BCSD) Board of Education (BOE) has announced a K–12 community survey designed to gather input from parents, students, staff, and community members to help shape the district’s strategic priorities for the next decade.
According to a media release, the Board believes broad community participation is essential to identify priorities in technology integration, workforce readiness, and instructional innovation. Feedback from the survey will be used to guide planning over the next 5 to 10 years to ensure BCSD students are prepared for an evolving workforce and rapidly changing digital landscape.
“As technology reshapes how people live and work, our schools must evolve,” BCSD Board of Education Technology Committee Chair Ingrid Boatright said in the media release. “This survey will help us understand community perspectives on equipping students with future-ready skills — including digital literacy, problem-solving, creativity, and AI fluency — and on how best to support teachers and families through those changes.”
Key goals for the survey and subsequent planning include:
- Identifying opportunities to deepen technology integration and personalized learning across K–12.
- Strengthening workforce readiness through skills that meet future labor market needs.
- Supporting teachers with professional learning and resources for new tools and instructional approaches.
- Building stronger partnerships among schools, families, and community organizations to ensure equitable access and success for all learners.
The survey will be open through Friday, Dec. 5, 2025.
- Community members may access the survey at connectbeaufortschools.org/board-of-education-community-survey.
- Parents may access the survey at connectbeaufortschools.org/board-of-education-parent-survey.
- An employee survey will be sent to staff via email and will be available on the intranet.
The BCSD BOE encourages all members of the Beaufort County community to participate and share their perspectives to help shape the future of district education.
