SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Summary of Information Collection

The DoDEA Customer Satisfaction

Survey is a tool used to measure the

satisfaction level of parents, students,

and teachers with the programs and

services provided by the DoD Education

Activity (DoDEA), in order to meet DoD

Reform Initiative Directive #23: Defense

Agency Performance Contracts which

states: ‘‘The Directors of the specified

Agencies and Field Activities will

submit a performance contract covering

the period of the Future Years Defense

Plan (FYDP) FY 2000 through FY 2005.

Each performance contract shall include

measures of customer satisfaction with

the goods and services provided by the

Agency or Field Activity, including the

timeliness of deliveries of products and

services’’.

The DoDEA Customer Satisfaction

Survey will be administered to all

parents and teachers within the DoDEA

school system, as well as students in

grades 4–12. The survey is completely

voluntary and will be administered

through an on-line, web-based

technology. The survey questions were

adapted from the Phi Delta Kappa/

Gallup Poll of the Public’s Attitudes

Toward Schools in order to have

national comparison data. Some

questions were altered slightly so that

the wording more closely matched the

DoDEA experience, however, any

alterations should not affect the

interpretation and comparison to the

national data. The survey will give

parents, students and teachers an

opportunity to comment on their level

of satisfaction with programmatic issues

related to DoD schools. Some of the

topics included on the survey are

curriculum, communication, and

technology. The surveys will be

administered biennially.

The information derived from this

survey will be used in the improvement

planning efforts at all levels throughout

DoDEA. Schools, districts and areas will

use the results to gain insight into the

satisfaction levels of their parents,

students, and teachers which will be

one of many measures used for further

planning of programs and services

offered to DoDEA’s students. DoDEA

system results will be used to monitor

the strategic plan as well as be a part of

the Director’s performance contract with

the DoD.
