New Jersey New Jersey State Performance Plan SPP Indicator #8: Parent Involvement

In December, 2007 the New Jersey Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs began conducting a survey of parents who have a child with a disability, ages 3-21. The purpose of the survey is to determine how schools are supporting parent involvement in their child’s educational program. The survey is being conducted as part of a federal requirement for New Jersey’s State Performance Plan for Special Education (SPP), Indicator #8: Parental Involvement. Annually, from 2007 to 2011, the New Jersey Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs will mail a survey in English and Spanish to parents of students with disabilities in a randomly selected sample of districts in the state (see district names below). At the end of five years, all parents of students with disabilities in every district in New Jersey will have an opportunity to respond to the survey.

Individual responses to the survey are anonymous and confidential. Parents’ names and children’s names will not appear on the survey or on any report that is generated as a result of the survey. Because the information from all surveys must be summarized for each district as well as for the entire state, there will be a tracking number on each survey to identify the district, not the student, associated with each survey. The State Performance Plan/Annual Performance, to be completed each year on February 1st, will report the results statewide. The results for each participating district will be publicly reported as part of the special education district profile during the next school year in accordance with federal regulations.

Parents’ responses will provide important information to help the state and districts determine how schools support parental involvement in their child’s program and to inform state and local improvement strategies, as needed. Parents who receive a survey are encouraged to complete and return the survey as soon as possible.

A pre-paid, self-addressed return envelope will be enclosed with the survey. The envelope will be addressed to a private agency that will scan and summarize the information on each survey. The following is a link to a copy of the preschool survey and school-age survey:
