4th and 5th grade Parents
My name is Tonya Monhollon and I am a doctoral candidate with the Department of Educational Leadership and Policies Studies at the University of Kansas. As a student in the University of Kansas's Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, I am conducting a research project about the function of schools.
I would like to interview parents of fourth and fifth grade students, via Zoom, to obtain your views on your student’s experiences during school closures related to the COVID-19 pandemic. If you choose to participate, your participation is expected to take about 30 minutes, and no identifiable information will be included in the resulting dissertation writings. You have no obligation to participate and you may discontinue your involvement at any time.
Here is a link to an interest form. I will contact interested parents using the email provided in the form to schedule a time for the interview.
Thank you,
Tonya MonhollonMasking Now Optional on Transportation (district email-2/27)
