[NPSO]: Question from state re incentives
A fellow state is asking a question: We are wanting to start offering incentives to participants who take part in our Indicator 14 survey. Can you tell me what some other states are offering? We were thinking $5 Sonic cards or Visa gift cards. Any ideas you have seen to be successful? Any help would be appreciated! If you have experiences related to this, please reply all and share your ideas! Thanks!

[NPSO]: RE: Question from state re incentives
Jane: Is the individual talking about the school personnel or the individuals (students) who we are tying to get the information from? I am assuming that we are talking about students and some of our districts have used creative ways to gather the information, but I am not aware of offering any cash incentives to individual students. We also do not feel that in a large state that many districts will support this. Thanks.

A professional survey company I am working with suggested Amazon gift card codes because they can be delivered by email (nice whether the respondent is getting back to you in an online survey, by phone, or via a written survey) and redeemed instantly (as soon as the survey is done, no waiting for it to come in the mail) for pretty much anything... -- Regards, Mike Bernoski SeKURE CONNEKT A MEMBER OF FINANCIAL WORx(r) 2331 ASCENSION BLVD.

RE: [SPAM] [NPSO]: Question from state re incentives
I caution states to think carefully before offering incentives to districts (if that is the question). Some districts are offering incentives to former students and /or families for their participation but not in WA. We are a state that has a census study; all districts participate and follow-up with all leavers (what a term!). We do have questions from districts such as, Where does it say we have to do this? Our state requires districts to participate as per Indicators 14 and 20 (which ensures timely and valid data) and they address their data in the LEA application for funding. There is a huge effort provided to help districts do this work and it has taken quite a few years to get to this point. Of course there is still resistance from some districts as well as the continuous problem of staff turn over from year to year. In addition to the complications and expense of providing incentives my personal opinion is that those that want to participate do so for something other than money and those that are resistant won't be all that swayed by monetary incentives. With all the huge amount of effort this takes we are always excited to get emails like those below. PRINCIPALS making phone calls!!!

Re: [NPSO]: RE: Question from state re incentives
The state is asking if others provide incentives directly to students. As others respond, it would be helpful to know about incentives at any level: directly to students, families, teachers, or districts. Thanks all! This is a great way to learn what others are doing!
