Title: Family Involvement in

Abstract: Research shows that family

involvement in education is key to

children learning to challenging

standards. However, certain important

questions could not be answered with

extant data. Accordingly, this data is

relevant to ED’s current initiative on

family involvement in education and to

the efforts of the 2500 grassroots

organizations that are members of the

Partnership for Family Involvement in

Education. They include schools,

education, parent, and community

groups and employers. Survey results

are intended for presentation first by the

Vice President at the 1997 annual

Family Reunion VI themed, ‘‘Family,

School, and Community’’.

Additional Information: Emergency

clearance is urgently requested for the

survey so that results can first be

announced at the Vice President’s

Family Reunion VI themed, ‘‘Family,

School, and Community.’’ This

conference is scheduled for late June

and media interest is anticipated.

Approval is requested by April 15, 1997.

If approval is not received by that date,

the latest information on family

involvement in education will not be

available for the Vice President’s

conference at which issues addressed in

the survey will be discussed.

Frequency: One Time.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households.
