My name is Rosemary Clancy; I work with the Leadership, Innovation, and Knowledge Research Centre (LInK) at Dublin City University. We are conducting research on the administrative burden relating to the collection and processing of payments within schools.

We have constructed a short online survey that can be accessed at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YQNSG2G.  The items in the survey are designed to collect information on the general types of activities and challenges related to the collection and processing of payments within schools from the perspective of different stakeholders. By understanding these activities and challenges we hope to inform technology design that will support schools in these activities moving forward.

  The primary stakeholders we would like to respond to the survey are Principals, School Administrators, Teachers and Parents, if possible. We would be extremely grateful if you could take the time to fill in the questionnaire and forward it on to relevant stakeholders, as you see fit. The survey should take approximately 5 minutes to complete. The identity of all respondents will remain confidential and we do not require any financial or banking details. It will not be possible to identify the responses of any individual from the results produced. If you are interested in participating in a focus group relating to the issues raised in the questionnaire, please don't hesitate to email me directly or the Principal Investigator on the project, Dr. Theo Lynn (theo.lynn@dcu.ie).

 
We would very much appreciate your co-operation in this survey. If you have any queries, or require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me directly via e-mail or by telephone on 01-7008609.
 
Thank you in advance for your response,

Rosemary
