VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION - FAMILY ENGAGEMENT SURVEY - ENGLISH

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 school division should have provided you with an opportunity to participate in a short survey, which VDOE will use to collect the necessary data to report on this requirement. Your participation in this survey will help VDOE 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. Please note, you will need to use a different browser (Safari, Google, etc...) or another electronic device (laptop, cell phone, iPad, etc...) if you are completing surveys for multiple children who have IEPs in Virginia's public school system. 

When completing this survey you will answer questions designed to cause you to reflect upon your experiences during the past school year. If you have any questions about this survey, please contact Chiquita Seaborne, VDOE Family Engagement Specialist/Special Projects Coordinator, via telephone, at (804) 418-4672, or via e-mail, at Chiquita.Seaborne@doe.virginia.gov.
