Bennington Public Schools used the services of Northwall Strategies to conduct a community survey in July. The random sample survey (using scientific methodologies) was conducted by EZPolitix, LLC, a subsidiary company of Northwall Strategies, via phone and text message over a five-day period in July. Results of this survey helped identify the wants and needs of the district and community along with support for specific bond issue amounts.
There is a total of 10,983 registered voters in Bennington Public Schools boundaries and there was a total of 465 surveys validated and included in the results. Using Cochran's Formula, the number of surveys collected gives us a 95% confidence level with less than 4.5 margin of error.
