Dear community partners:

The Alliance for Education and Seattle Public Schools have started a process to seek public feedback on school and community partnerships.  Our goal is to use your input to inform the planning process for developing a model for Intensive School and Community Partnerships across our school district. This process includes:

• 12 Focus Groups (including school and district staff, community based organizations, students, and families) – started in December 2010
• Online Survey (attached below)  – February 2011
• Phone Survey – late February 2011

Attached are links to the online survey:
Adults Only (i.e., parents, school staff, community partners): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/school_community_partnerships
Students Only (9th – 12th grades): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/school_community_partnerships_studentsurvey

• The survey is anonymous
• The survey is optional
• Copies of the survey are available for review by request (and include contact information)

Please complete the survey and/or email the links to your associates, community partners, and students. All survey responses are due no later than Friday, February 18th! We hope to get a broad representation of the Seattle Public Schools district community. The surveys should take no more than 15 – 20 minutes. Please be aware there may be some duplication in this email message, as it will be sent to numerous partners.

If you have questions, please contact Solynn McCurdy, Community Engagement Manager at the Alliance for Education, at 206-205-0329 or Solynn@alliance4ed.org. We sincerely appreciate your support and commitment to ensuring that all students have the opportunity to be successful in college, career, and life.

Best regards,
