State Conducts 2013-14 Special Education Parent Involvement Survey
The Virginia Department of Education is asking all parents of children receiving special education services in the Commonwealth to complete the 2013-14 Special Education Parent Involvement Survey. Information from the survey is used by each state to complete its Annual Performance Report, to be filed with the U.S. Department of Education, in keeping with the requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The survey is anonymous and is very brief, taking only a few minutes to complete. It is available in both English and Spanish.
The survey is a means of collecting from parents demographic information such as the age and ethnicity of their child. Parents are asked to indicate the school division where their child is enrolled and their child's primary educational disability or exceptionality. The survey further asks for information about the parent's involvement in the IEP process and knowledge of available options, in the event that an agreement is not reached regarding the IEP. It asks parents to indicate whether their child's school division has provided them with information on the local special education advisory committee and about local community resources, supports, services, trainings and activities.
The online survey can be completed any time up until June 30, 2014. Copies of the survey in paper form will also be available shortly, along with accompanying postage pre-paid envelopes, for those parents who prefer them to the online format. The paper surveys will be available at the Anne R. Lipnick Family Resource Center, Room 134, T.C. Williams High School Minnie Howard Campus, 3801 W. Braddock Road, Alexandria.
Questions about the survey should be directed to Alexandria City Public Schools Parent Support Specialist Janet Reese at 703-824-0129.
