FRAMINGHAM,MA -- The District Planning Task Force has compiled a survey to evaluate the School Choice assignment program.

More than 6,000 families have enrolled students through School Choice over the past 10 years. Please help the Task Force reach as many as possible by distributing links to the electronic survey through your email lists. All responses will remain anonymous, but will provide valuable information to the Task Force as it prepares recommendations to the School Committee.

The links to the survey can be accessed at www.framingham.k12.ma.us.

Only one response is accepted from each computer address. Respondents can choose English, Spanish or Portuguese language surveys. A paper version in English, Spanish or Portuguese, will also be available in the main office, for families that do not have access to the Internet or who prefer to complete on paper. If you need additional copies please contact the Parent Information Center. Families should fill out only ONE SURVEY PER FAMILY, EITHER the Internet survey OR the paper survey but not both.

The Task Force will collect responses September 18 - October 3, 2008, then review and analyze the data, which will be made public in November.

Thank you for distributing the Task Force survey on School Choice, and for promoting it with flyers, in your newsletter and at parent meetings.
