Communications Audit

In spring 2022, DASD collaborated with the Chester County Intermediate Unit (CCIU) to execute a communications audit. The goals of this audit were to:

  1. Provide a comprehensive assessment of current communication efforts and the effectiveness of the overall program
  2. Create a snapshot of current perceptions about DASD schools and the district
  3. Identify gaps in the DASD communication strategy
  4. Provide baseline research to evaluate progress and develop a framework for creating a strategic communication plan
