When we did our surveys this fall and I made pivot charts in Excel to breakdown counts. Since we had used an "AGREE, SOMEWHAT AGREE, DISAGREE" format, it made it really easy to see how many answered in which way. We also had done a ranking question for what parents would like to see for family nights, so it gave me counts in each category. It was a great way to have actual numbers to present at the meeting instead of just trying to make my own analysis.

Yes it is. Thank you. I'll watch my email for it.

I was looking at the "ready to wear" databases included in the access software and was thinking about using the donations one for a core to build the rest around. I think a user friendly database would make PTA life a lot easier, especially if I can modify the spreadsheets and documents used by the other board members to work with the database.

The parent surveys would have more impact and usefulness after being entered in a database.

I have an Access database for a parent skill survey. Though it was not developed as our membership info system, it has many of the fields you might want for membership. Is this of interest to you?

Does anyone use a Microsoft Access database to organize their PTA/PTO data? If so, could I get a copy of the database? (I dodn't need your data, unless you have a list of corporations and celebrities already built into it )
