Parent Involvement Survey


Each school year the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) is required to report to the U.S. Department of Education the "Percent of parents with a child receiving special education services who report that schools facilitated parent involvement as a means of improving services and results for children with disabilities."  Your participation in this survey will help the VDOE meet this requirement and collect additional information to identify training needs related to the special education processes. The VDOE will use the results of this survey to improve parental involvement in the special education process and improve outcomes for all students within the Commonwealth. It is important to note that your responses are recorded anonymously and cannot be personally linked to your child.

Parents who have more than one child receiving special education services should submit one survey for each child receiving services.

When completing this survey you will answer questions designed to cause you to reflect upon your experiences during the past school year.
 
The deadline for completion of this survey is December 15, 2023.

 

The survey can be accessed using the QR codes in the flyer or the links below.  If you prefer to complete a paper version please contact the OCPS Special Education Office and they will provide you with a copy.

Chiquita Seaborne, VDOE Family Engagement Specialist/Special Projects Coordinator, via telephone, at (804) 225-3898, or via e-mail, at Chiquita.Seaborne@doe.virginia.gov.
