The purpose of this study was to examine parental concerns of schools through the RBES Perception Survey for Parents before and after school redistricting, and further examine school leaders' responses to perception data of their schools before and after school redistricting by way of a mixed methods design. The potential benefit to school districts from evaluating parental concerns as categorized by the theme areas of the RBES Perception Survey for Parents, and evaluating leader responses to parental concerns is that school districts may establish proactive steps to eliminate or reduce negative parent perceptions of redistricting efforts or sustain positive parent perceptions in school districts before and after redistricting takes place. Additionally, in places where parent perceptions are low or negative, school districts may be able to generate more buy-in that could potentially raise parent perceptions. If school districts know where the increases and decreases in parental concerns are prior to and after districting takes place, school leaders may be able to implement strategies to change or sustain those parental concerns. Inferential statistics by way of paired samples t-tests and school leader interviews were used to address the research questions of this study. Quantitative data derived from the RBES Perception Survey for Parents, and qualitative data derived from interviewing school leaders about their awareness and responses to RBES Perception Survey for Parents data results were also used. Overall, quantitative data revealed there were significant decreases in parental concerns of schools after redistricting took place, or there were no significant differences in parental concerns of schools after redistricting took place. In response to RBES Perception Survey for Parents data, school leaders were very aware of the parental concerns of their schools, and each school leader responded with different leadership approaches in addressing parental concerns. Related literature supported the theoretical framework, research problem, conclusions, and recommendations for future study. According to the literature and school leaders, school districts must constantly communicate and develop outreach systems that will support parents during school redistricting initiatives.
