FORT BEND COUNTY, TEXAS- To better understand how Fort Bend County can support its residents with school-age children as they prepare for the upcoming semester, Fort Bend County Judge KP George is gathering community input through a parent survey.
The quick survey consists of questions measuring parents’ feelings about their children’s return to school, and about their access to child care and the internet.
“As the father of three young people, the husband of a teacher, and a former school board member, I know firsthand the tough decisions that schools and families face as they prepare for the upcoming semester,” said Fort Bend County Judge KP George. “We will use the responses to this survey as we advocate respectively and collaborate creatively with our partners to provide as many resources as possible to our residents during the fall 2020 semester.”
