Opinions about school enrollment and desegregation needed

Got an opinion about SFUSD's school enrollment process? About desegregation efforts in our schools? Who doesn't! Here's an interesting chance to express yourself in the context of a Stanford student's sociology research. Check it out:

Dear parents,

I am a Stanford student pursuing a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Sociology. For my honors thesis, I am researching how parents in San Francisco approach the SFUSD school assignment process and the issue of racial diversity in the classroom .

My survey takes 10-15 minutes to complete and is available in English, Spanish, and Chinese. On the last page of the survey, you can provide contact information if you are interested in participating in the second phase of my research: in-depth interviews. After my research is complete, the contact information data will be erased. The survey pages are SSL encrypted and all of the final data from the surveys and interviews will be anonymous.

I would greatly appreciate if you would take the time to fill out my survey.

Please feel free to contact me (dcheng20 @ stanford.edu) if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions about my research. Although I recognize the benefits of discussing issues on the blog, I would request that you contact me privately with any comments you may have about my research. Public discussion of survey questions might influence the responses of other parents filling out my questionnaire.

Additionally, I am looking for opportunities to distribute this survey to other parents of SFUSD students. Please let me know if you are part of your school's PTA, SSC, or other parent organization and would be willing to forward my survey to any email lists you may be on.

Thanks for your time, and I hope this school year is starting off well for your family.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheng.
