HISD @ H.O.M.E. Survey Results, 2020. Research Educational Program Report
Houston Independent School District
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Houston Independent School District (HISD) moved to online instruction as it closed its campuses and district offices until social distancing guidelines are lifted. HISD @ H.O.M.E. (Home-based Online Mobile Education) is designed to maintain productive instruction for students using computers, laptops, iPads, or smartphones. To support these efforts and to address equity in education, HISD administered the HISD @ H.O.M.E. Survey to assess the needs of district families and determine if they had the tools needed for remote learning. The district is prepared to offer paper-based curriculum resources based on survey results. The survey was launched on March 19, 2020 and remains open. This report analyzes survey responses collected from March 19, 2020 to April 3, 2020. Communicating the availability of the survey to HISD families, especially economically disadvantaged families and those who are not native English speakers, was challenging. Many of the ways that the survey could be easily accessed required a web-enabled device and the internet. Households without internet access or web-enabled devices are under-represented in the survey based on how the survey was disseminated and on the characteristics of the district.
