Asheville City and Buncombe County School System Consolidation Feasibility Study: General Community Survey

Thank you for taking time to provide us with your thoughts and opinions. In response to the legislative request to conduct a school system consolidation feasibility study, Buncombe County Commissioners contracted with Prismatic Services to complete the study. The two school systems are Asheville City Schools and Buncombe County Schools.

This survey is intended for the general community in Buncombe County who do not currently have children under age 18 residing with them.

Key information:

At this time, no decision has been made regarding school system consolidation, but your input will help guide the final report. That will be provided to the school boards, commissioners, and N.C. General Assembly in late winter.
If ACS and BCS do consolidate, it would mean that all schools would be in one school system under one central office.
This survey should take no longer than 10-15 minutes to complete.

Prismatic will keep all responses confidential and will only report results in aggregate. If you have questions about the survey, please contact SurveySupport@PrismaticServices.com.
