Happy New Year from your partners here at The Hello Foundation! I am excited to once again share the results of our annual administrator survey.
Listed below are your answers to four different questions from the survey we thought you would find intriguing. You can see how your answers to the following questions compare to your fellow administrators.
Just out of curiosity, we asked, “What percentage of your sped team is made up of contractors?” The majority of our respondents reported that less than half of their team is made up of contractors, while 29% of respondents reported that over half of their team are contractors this school year.
Administrators want control over who is working with their students. Because of this, 85% of our Hello staff are requested and secured by school districts by May 31st for the following school year. So, when will the admin we surveyed determine staffing needs and be ready to commit to a contract for the 2023-2024 school year? Unsurprisingly, 76% of them said they would be ready to commit by the end of May, and the remaining 24% said they’d be committing by June 15th.
We all know that filling positions in schools can be extremely challenging, especially when you’re looking for highly skilled folks. So we asked, which type of specialist position has been hardest to fill in the past few years? The answer was overwhelmingly SLPs, with 55% of answers falling into that category.
And of course, we always take this opportunity to ask how Hello is doing and to get feedback on how we can improve our services. We asked admin to rate the level of service they have experienced working with The Hello Foundation. 77% of our district partners rated us as excellent, 23% rated us as good, and 0% rated us as average, not good, or very bad. We are humbled and so proud of our amazing staff that continues to put kids first and deliver high-quality service, year after year.
