Survey Update

Good News - I have received a good amount of feedback from my survey. However, I did not consider the time it would take to disaggregate the data.  From this data I am trying to determine the % of Spanish speaking parents to English speaking parents. The top three preferred methods of contact and how parents are interested in volunteering and then lastly any services my school can provide to the community. From what I have received so far about 50% of the returned sheets I received wanted to be involved in some way or offered a suggestion on how the school could help the community. Not to my surprise a large percentage of parents show interest in a Adult English Language class offering. I am looking forward to presenting this data to the collaborative group I have been working to form that will make decisions on what direction we should go to increase parent involvement on our campus. 

Suggestions to others - If you are considering a survey as part of your research and it is going to include a large number of participants you may want to consider an online survey to save time with data disaggregation.

I have included the survey below.
