Abstract	This second volume of a seven-volume study summarizes findings from each of the four programs examined--Titles I and VII of the Elementary Secondary Education Act, the Emergency School Aid Act, and Follow Through. Field researchers collected data for this report during the spring of 1980. They lived in the communities studied, 57 in all, and spent 4 months interviewing parents and project staff, observing classrooms and events, and analyzing project documents. The resultant information relates to five avenues for parental involvement in federal education programs: governance, instruction, parent education, school support, and school-community relations. Within each of these five areas, this report presents the findings for the four federal programs individually. Overall, the study revealed a wide range in the level of parental involvement. The researchers conclude that active parent participation produced real benefits for schools, parents, and children. The involvement did not occur by chance, however, but had to be deliberately stimulated. (Author/WD)
