Subject: Research request from NW Ohio School Superintendent

Fellow superintendents:

Good afternoon!  I hope this email finds you all doing well after Labor Day weekend!  I am emailing all of you to request your assistance in my research.  My name is Robert Hlasko and I am a doctoral student at the University of Findlay.  Some of you might remember me from a similar request last year.  I appreciate those who were able to help me facilitate the focus groups (and invite you to help again, if you can!); however, I was unable to secure a sufficient number of participants to create a valid sample size, so I am asking your your assistance again (this time with a less intrusive and, most importantly, quicker survey).

As part of my doctoral studies, I am conducting research on the educational mission(s) of K-12 schools.  I hope to learn, without prejudice, what stakeholder groups (including parent, educators, and legislators) believe the educational mission(s) of K-12 schools in Ohio to be and whether or not those stakeholders believe that schools are meeting that mission(s).  The goal of the study is to inform stakeholders and, specifically, future policy decisions regarding education at a local and state level.  I am contacting you to ask you to consider distributing the following survey to your educational staff and parents of students in your district.  I will handle the distribution and collection of the surveys so that your workload is limited only to approval and, perhaps, assistance with sending out via your email distribution.

If you are interested in having a voice in this discussion related to school mission please consider completing the anonymous surveys (at the link .  Depending on the length of individual responses the survey should take between 15-30 minutes to complete.  All responses will remain anonymous.  If anyone should decide to participate, they are free to discontinue participation at any time without prejudice.  Aside from the time required to complete the survey the risks to participants are less than minimal.

If you have you any questions please do not hesitate to ask.  You may email or call me or you may also contact the chair of my dissertation committee, Dr. Kathleen Crate at 419-434-6552 or via email at crates at findlay.edu<mailto:crates at findlay.edu>

<mailto:crates at findlay.edu>
If you are willing to allow me to distribute this survey through a listserv, directly to administrators or teachers, or via another avenue please email or call me.  Please do not distribute the survey link I provided as a preview as I will need to make a separate survey for each school district.  If you should have any questions about the study or the survey please do not hesitate to communicate with me.  It is imperative for my study that I have at least one school from each of the eight types of school districts in Ohio, so please consider helping a study which will impact all Ohio school districts!

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration of my request.

Sincerely,

Robert Hlasko
