Dear [CITY] Household:

 

The U.S. Department of Education is conducting an important national research study about families and education, and we need your help. This questionnaire is the first step to find households with children and youths. 

It usually takes 5 minutes or less to fill out these initial questions and only a few seconds if no one in your household is age 20 or younger.

All information you provide may be used for statistical purposes and may not be disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose except as required by law (Section 9573, 20 U.S. Code).

Your household was chosen as part of this voluntary scientific study, and we cannot replace you with someone else. 

 

Please fill out the enclosed survey and mail it back in the postage paid envelope provided.

 

We have enclosed $2 as a token of our appreciation. Westat, a survey research group, is conducting this survey for us. If you have questions or need assistance, please call 1-888-880-3033.  You can find more information about this study online at www.nhessurvey.org.

 

Thank you for filling out this survey. Your information will help us improve education for everyone.

 

 

 

 

Sincerely,

Stuart Kerachsky

Acting Commissioner
