Survey for Meaningful Watershed Educational
Experience (MWEE) |
In April 2005, the Virginia Department of Education
began collecting data on Virginias progress toward meeting educational goals
related to watersheds and related educational programs in the commonwealths
schools. Using the Single Sign-on for
Web Application Systems (SSWS), school divisions provided these data, which
were reported to Governor Warner and the Chesapeake Bay Executive Council as
part of the requirement of the multi-state 2000 Chesapeake Bay Agreement
(http://www.chesapeakebay.net/agreement.htm)
and the recently signed Chesapeake Watershed Education Agreement: Fostering
Chesapeake Stewardship (http://www.chesapeakebay.net/exec.htm).
The department is again requesting that school
divisions complete a short survey describing watershed and related educational
activities. The department is required
to provide this information to the Governor each year. The department will develop a
division-by-division report.
Please complete the Meaningful Watershed
Educational Experience (MWEE) electronic survey by May 5, 2006, at https://eb01.vak12ed.edu/ssws using
