As I was visiting [the Fayette County School System] website, I could not help but noticing that several areas of [its] site seem to have quite outdated information being displayed. For a school system that seems to have such great resources and financial support from the community, should not it be able to at least keep the website current?
Examples of links that I noticed without even looking too hard:
1. Home>About Us>About the District>District Honors was last update looks to be in 2013. What about all the honors since then?
2. Home>About Us>About the District>The District at a Glance looks like the last update shows: System Enrollment as of September 2, 2015: 20,082. Pretty outdated info.
3. Home>About Us>About the District>2014 Accreditation Report has not been updated since 2014. This is almost humorous since the introduction to the 2014 Accreditation Report states the following in its introduction on page 2 of the report:
“Every school system has its own story to tell. The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by which the school system makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school system stays faithful to its vision. Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders, a description of stakeholder engagement, the trends and issues affecting the school system, and the kinds of programs and services that a school system implements to support student learning. The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school system with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the community will have a more complete picture of how the school system perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement. This summary is structured for the school system to reflect on how it provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis.”
