Parent involvement survey: simple random sample

Description

An example dataset describing a simple random sample of 5,000 parents of students with disabilities, from a population of 20,000. The parent involvement survey measures a single key outcome: whether "parents perceive that schools facilitate parent involvement as a means of improving services and results for children with disabilities."

The variable BASE_WEIGHT provides the base sampling weight. The variable N_STUDENTS_IN_SCHOOL can be used to provide a finite population correction for variance estimation.
