Annual Principals Survey Provides Crucial Link to Local Data By Janet Johnson Informational Representative, Office of Accountability November 27, 2000   Each of the nearly 1,800 public school principals in Oklahoma will receive an important survey from the Office of Accountability this week. The annual "School Questionnaire" is used to gather site-level data and data not available from other resources. The information is published in the School Report Cards and is a vital link to learning more about local schools. Issues for the 1999-2000 report series include effectiveness of schools in promoting parental participation and community relationships, achievement tests purchase and use, and students' participation in early childhood education participation. Superintendent's are sent a courtesy copy and asked to encourage and support their principals in completing the request. Surveys must be returned by December 11, 2000 to avoid "FTR," (Failure To Respond,) being noted on their school's School Report Card. The Education Oversight Board and Office of Accountability are privileged to be partners in education with local administrators and teachers. Our staff is available to address any questions or concerns regarding the school questionnaire at (405) 522-4578 or Email contact@ed-stats.state.ok.us.
