The study was conducted by a committee of West Area staff and parents, and the Minneapolis Public Schools' Research and Evaluation Department. Questionnaires were returned by the parents of 2,068 randomly selected students. Eighty-one percent of the mailed questionnaires were returned. More than seventy-five percent of the parents said that having alternative educational programs provided was important to them. Thirty-eight percent of the parents of elementary students were willing to have their child transported to any school in the West Area to get the program of their choice, 43 percent were willing to have their child transported to a school adjacent to their child's present school, while 19 percent said they would choose the nearest available school regardless of the program offered. Parent responses for each school are included in the report. (Author/DEP) aMay also be available online.
