MSEG Demographic Snapshot
A vital aim of our group is to broaden participation and elevate voices that have been traditionally underrepresented during district engagement efforts. MSEG Participants are all asked to complete an anonymous survey to capture important information about the community we get to hear from. This page offers a quick look at the data provided by those who responded, and will be updated as we gather more data.
- 5Community engagements
- 107Unique check-ins
- 66Survey respondents
Gaps in Our Data
Because these surveys were anonymous, we cannot guarantee that each respondent was unique or attended an event, but we believe the sampling below is a useful measure of how effective our outreach efforts are. The normalized, anonymous data can be found here.
While we are committed to a transparent, critical assessment of where the diversity of our participants does not match the diversity of OUSD families and students, there are a few key metrics not reflected by this data that are worth considering as part of the picture:
- The 107 unique participants do not include an estimated 25 or more folks that did not officially check in at virtual or in-person meetings.
- 66 participants filled out an anonymous demographic survey, so we are missing data from around half of those who attended our engagements.
- We held a virtual event specifically for Arabic speakers that was well attended (~44 participants) and while many of them did check in, the district does not track "Arabic" as a race or ethnicity, and so their true representation is not visible in this data.
Representation Goals + Challenges
One of MSEG's stated criteria for meaningful engagement is to have the composition of our participants match the diversity of our families and students. The two charts below show our progress towards that goal, and where we still have work to do.
Intersection of Supports
Our survey asked respondents to identify specific needs, allowing us to see how much overlap and intersection between certain groups exists in our participants. We will add a comparison to OUSD's data shortly.
