Join-A-School Survey: District Summary Report.
Albuquerque Public Schools, NM.
This report summarizes responses to a questionnaire sent to both school and business participants in the Join-A-School Program in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The program, which pairs schools and businesses within a community, was originated in 1985; this survey is the first evaluation of the program. Responses were received from 47% of the business partners and 88% of the school partners surveyed. Seventy-eight percent of the business partners and over 90% of the school partners agreed or strongly agreed that the program met their expectations and was successful. Seventy-two percent of the businesses also affirmed that their employee staffs were aware of their Join-A-School participation. However, many participants in both areas indicated they were unaware of the program newsletter and the after-hours activities. They requested better communication between program participants, especially via newsletters. Other recommendations for improvement indicated the need for: (1) more guidance from the combined program staff; (2) more recognition of the accomplishments of the program, especially the contributions of the business partners; and (3) more activities and exchange of ideas with other program partnerships. Appendices include surveys, survey responses and narrative comments; and lists of participants and program coordinators. (JGL)
