BV SUSAN IJSHKK It will he summer before results of a survey of public attitudes to ward education and communities in Brunswick County by the South port-Oak Island Chamber of Com merce are made available to the pub lic. A handful of computer science students at South Brunswick High School this week began tabulating responses to the survey, which was distributed in February to a cross section of county businesses and government agencies to adults who live or work in Brunswick County. The data are expected to be avail able by May to the chamber's edu cation committee for analysis and development of a report on the re sults. said South Brunswick comput er science teacher Bill Adams. If the project proceeds on its cur rent timetable, the chamber's educa tion committee will be ready in June to present all of its findings first to the chamber's board of directors and then to the Brunswick County Board of Education. 'That's as a courtesy," said Jane Kulesza, a member of the education committee. "We've done everything with the schools." The project grew out of chamber members' interest in helping im prove education in the county by helping the schools. The survey is an effort to determine if public per ceptions of the services and needs of the schools match reality. The sur vey was distributed with assistance from the county's other two cham bers serving the South Brunswick Islands and North Brunswick areas. "Our education committee spent a year discussing this and couldn't discern perceptions versus reality," said committee member Jane Kul esza. "While working on other pro jects. we believe the survey will help the chamber determine the best ways its resources can be used to benefit the schools." Education committee members anticipate repeating the survey at three-year intervals and sharing the results with area chambers of com merce. the school system and other interested organizations. Under the direction of Davis, a re tired IBM manager, students are typ ing responses into a spreadsheet pro gram contributed by Carolina Power & Light Co. to South Brunswick High specifically for this project. Frank Black mon, a manager with CP&L, worked with chamber and Davis to install the program on two computers in the high school's busi ness department. "'ITiis will take more time," said chamber Karen Hope, "but we think it is valid to provide the hands-on learning experience for students." Hope said the response rate from the survey was 48 percent or 650 surveys, more than the 600 needed for results to be valid. Approximately 160 of the surveys included hand-written comments in addition to multiple-choice respons es. "We got some really good feed back," said Hope. "They were glad somebody had asked." "Some people wrote essays," said Kulesza. "People have a lot to say about education and when given a sounding hoard, said it." Davis has trained students Christine Love, Martha Daniels and Adam Sullivan in use of the spread sheet software and expects to in clude more students before the pro ject is completed. Mow many stu dents get involved depends in part on how much time is required to en ter data in the spreadsheet and de velop reports. Davis said students will summa rize responses to each survey ques tion and then sort or report the data in various ways for interpretation. The first 10 questions asked re spondents to "grade" the school sys tem on a scale of A to F(ail) on its overall quality, programs for special needs children, its teaching of basic skills, creative thinking and curiosi ty, "skills necessary for the 21st cen tury," preparation of students for college or the workplace, and em phasis on life skills training and a ARE ALL YOUR RECEIPTS IN A PAPER BAG?
