Have you recently taken a child out of the Nyack School District? Do you wish public education could have worked out so that you didn't have to resort to private school?
We think it might be helpful for the district to know why people are choosing to leave the system and what changes might keep them here. You don't have to provide your name if you don't wish to, but we hope you'll take a moment to answer the following questions.
Please fill out the following survey online or print it out and fax it to 914-358-2529 or mail it to Nyack PIE P.O. Box 167 Nyack NY 10960
