COMMUNICATIONS AUDIT

During the 2021-22 school year, 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

In 2023, DASD underwent a follow-up survey under the direction of NSPRA (owner of SCoPE) to measure growth and areas of need with regard to communications.
