Performance and Results Act of 1993,
Public Law 103–62; 107 Stat. 285, that
requires agencies to have strategic plans
and to consult with affected persons. A
major purpose of the regulation is to

and customer satisfaction. The parent
survey is also a required component of
the annual evaluation of the Sure Start
program as required by DoDEA.

who are ‘‘at risk’’ for later school failure
because of economic circumstance or
other health and/or family factors. In
addition to offering a high-quality
educational program that reflects best
practices in the field, Sure Start also
provides health and nutrition, social,
and parent involvement services. Close
collaboration between families, schools,
and the installation community is
viewed as essential and a required part
of the program, to include parental
feedback on the program. Participation
in the survey is completely voluntary
and will be administered via paper/hard
copy format. All data are collected and
analyzed at the school level only. The
questionnaire will give parents/sponsors
an opportunity to indicate their overall
level of satisfaction with DoDEA Sure
Start programs. The questionnaire will
be administered biannually; typically in
the middle of the school year and at the
school year’s end.
The information derived from these
surveys will be used to improve service
and planning efforts at school level.
This information is one of many
measures used for future planning of
programs and services offered to
DoDEA’s students.
