| dc.description.abstract | This qualitative, multi-site case study was conducted in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted with ten Parent Advisory Council presidents to discover contemporary parents' values, perspectives and agendas regarding public education and parental involvement in educational governance. Furthermore, these presidents were proportionately representative of School District #61 (Greater Victoria)'s Funded Inner City Elementary Schools, and Non-Funded Elementary schools to investigate possible similarities and differences between the groups. To enrich the findings from the individual interviews, each group was interviewed to allow participants to meet their peers, exchange their views and determine whether initial findings were repeated in a group context. | |
