Festus R-VI Wants Your Opinion
Beginning this week, residents living in the Festus School District may receive a phone call asking your opinion on a variety of school related issues. The calls will take place between 7pm & 9pm on weekdays and from noon to 6pm on Saturdays. The caller ID may show “Market Research Associates” or simply show an “816” or “913” area code. The survey is being conducted by Kansas City-based “Market Research Associates” a firm that uses only locally based, professional researchers. Participants will be called at random and all responses are kept strictly confidential. Anyone may also complete an online survey at the link below. Responses are limited to one per device. Allow yourself 10 minutes to complete the survey. All responses are confidential. The district will receive a summary report, but will not see any individual responses. Please, if you get a phone call from "Market Research Associates" answer and give us your opinions. If you don't get a call, we encourage you to take a few minutes and tell us what you think. We value your opinions.
