Abstract: This book is intended to aid school officials in conducting effective community surveys for the purpose of improving citizen involvement and influence in educational decision-making.

Titles and prices of the other publications in the set are listed at the end of the book. The book is organized in three major chapters. Chapter 1 presents a detailed discussion of how to conduct an effective survey and how to analyze and use the results. Chapter 2 briefly outlines how to train citizens to conduct good interviews. Chapter 3 consists of six brief case studies of actual community surveys conducted by local educational groups and includes sample questionnaires and interview forms developed for use in these surveys.
