To learn how residents of the Palouse and Garfield (Washington) school districts felt about school-related issues, a survey based on interviews was developed and administered in 1984 to a proportional sample between districts and between rural and city residents within each district. A specific sample of parents with children in Garfield's school was also queried. Results showed that the main sources of information about the schools were newsletters and students. Most respondents felt comfortable discussing school-related problems with a board member, administrator, or teacher, and most would assign their school's performance a B grade. Most respondents felt that improvement in educational programs should receive top priority. Other statistics in this report--evaluating the school districts, board, improvement priorities, and offerings--are generated by grouping respondents by gender, rural or city residence, and length of residence. Other results examine differences in opinion between the two districts regarding future modes of cooperation on educational programs, subjects and services that should be offered cooperatively, school qualities and needs for improvement, and the need for tax levies. Differences between the two districts are discussed and a 3-page summary highlights the results. The survey instrument is appended. (PM)
