Abstract	This guide, second in a series of four volumes, offers a method of surveying parents' attitudes about choosing schools for their children and provides a survey instrument used over a period of 5 years in four Massachusetts urban school districts. Section 1 introduces the basic research questions pursued in the survey. Section 2, "The Parent Survey: What Is It? What Does It Do?" describes the structure and general functioning of the survey model. Surveys sent home to parents were comprised of three basic elements: (1) respondents' declaration of the kind of schooling they prefer; (2) respondents' declaration of willingness to have their children attend a school outside their neighborhood attendance area; and (3) background data on respondents. "The Process: Planning Surveys for Parent/Professional Choice," section 3, describes the role played by such parent and professional surveys in a comprehensive planning process leading to school systems based upon choice. Examples are provided from experiences of the four Massachusetts communities. Section 4, "Reflections on the Process," considers various issues raised by use of parent/professional surveys and provides tentative answers to questions that emerge from survey use. Section 5 offers further sources of information. (CJH)
