Summary: Resource Development Associates, Inc. (RDA) will work with MDUSD staff to design and administer a survey to parents at the thirteen (13) Title 1 schools to solicit feedback on opportunities for parental involvement. The survey will be administered online, with opportunities for parents to participate at MDUSD computer labs; we will also offer paper-based surveys as needed. RDA will analyze survey results and compile a report that includes recommendations on how to increase parental involvement across the thirteen (13) Title 1 schools. In addition to demonstrating MDUSD’s commitment to parent involvement and providing actionable information for the school sites' parent involvement plans, the survey tool can be used in future years to measure progress in the six domains of involvement: parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making, and collaborating with the community.
