/1/In 1999, one item was used to ask parents if they had attended an event sponsored by a community, ethnic, or religious group. In 2003, attendance at an event sponsored by a religious group was asked about separately from attendance sponsored by a community or ethnic group. NOTE: The respondent was the parent most knowledgeable about the child's education. The responding parent reported on their own and their spouse's, or other household adults' activities. Excludes home-schooled children. Standard errors appear in parentheses. SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, The Parent Survey (Parent:1999) and The Parent and Family Involvement in Education Survey (PFI:2003) of the National Household Education Surveys Program, unpublished tabulations.
