Differences between charter and traditional public schools in New York City: Parent satisfaction with and involvement in special education services
by Daly, Anna Elizabeth, Ed.D., TEACHERS COLLEGE, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, 2009, 104 pages; 3368396

Abstract:

This study compared levels of parent satisfaction with school and involvement in special education between charter and traditional public schools in New York City. Surveys were used to measure the satisfaction and involvement of 50 parents of children receiving special education services in two charter schools and two public schools in the City. The results indicated that parents of students in special education in the two settings were equally satisfied with the schools but that participation levels were unequal. Parents of students receiving special education services in charter schools were more likely to participate than were parents of students receiving those services in traditional public schools.
