New Jersey Department of Education School Parent Survey |2005 – ONGOING</p>
<p>The Parent Survey involves an annual survey of parents of students with disabilities to determine how schools have facilitated parents’ involvement in their child’s program. The parent survey is disseminated statewide to all parents of students with disabilities over a five-year period. Each year a cohort of districts is randomly selected to participate, based on demographic information, to represent the population of students with disabilities residing in New Jersey.  The BCSR works with the NJDOE to train New Jersey school districts to use an Excel template and FTP site to collect parent address data.  Each annual cohort contains about 40,000 parent addresses.  Surveys are administered by mail and on-line. The BCSR sets up a 1-800 number to respond to parents’ questions regarding the survey.  Data are cleaned, scored, and analyzed using SPSS.  Numerous reports are provided including sections on: response rates, demographics, item analysis, overall and individual district reports, and a district history report.</p>
<p>New Jersey Department of Education Post School Outcomes Survey |2009 – ONGOING</p>
<p>The New Jersey Post School Outcomes Study is a survey of students with disabilities who exit high school (graduate, aged out, drop out or move and are not known to be continuing). The goal of this survey is to better understand the post school outcomes for students with disabilities. Emphasis is on measuring their engagement in work and/or further education one year after exiting. The BCSR is responsible for preparing data for analyses, conducting analyses, and completing statistical and narrative reports of findings for the five cohorts of districts participating in the study.</p></div>
