If you are a parent of a Michigan K-12 Student, please respond to the ESSA Parent Survey.

If you are not a parent (and even if you are), reach out to parents you know to respond to the ESSA Survey.

The survey can be found at http://www.michigan.gov/essa
The direct link is:
http://deploy3.yougov.com/survey/selfserve/548/160929?list=cli_1

It does not take too long to respond.  The survey is open through November 18th.

There is one question that asks:
"Which of the following items related to schools and teachers do you think are among the most important types of information to have when trying to figure out the quality of a school?"
One choice is:
"The presence of librarians/media specialists in the school"

Please answer all questions honestly considering your own children; but MAME asks that you select "The presence of librarians/media specialists in the school" as one of your choices on this question.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
