During his weekly school visitation, Dr. Sutton gave a helping hand at Chester Park Complex during their breakfast service.

The Chester County School District is inviting all county residents to participate in a survey to evaluate facility needs, consider preliminary, high-level solutions, and contribute feedback to guide our next steps in capital projects.
This anonymous survey will be accessible to the public until Sunday, March 24, 2024. The estimated time required to complete the survey is 5-10 minutes. Information from community members will be used by the district and later by the board members to evaluate solutions that meet community needs, are financially responsible, and move the district forward.
All of the data we collect will be presented to the Board in April, and from there, they will decide on whether the District pursues a bond referendum on the November election ballot or not.
Residents can access the survey online at CCSDCapitalSurvey.org or scan the QR Code in the flyer below. Residents may also request a paper copy by contacting the school district office, or by visiting any one of our schools. Residents may also expect a postcard with information sent by mail in the coming week.
We respect your time and want to emphasize the importance of your participation. If you have comments or questions, please contact the school district office.
