CONDUCTING RESEARCH IN THE SCHOOLS
The Board recognizes the importance of research and surveys as means of improving the
instructional program for the district's students and also recognizes the need to monitor and
control the amount of time and energy expended by both staff and students on research
projects sponsored by agencies and individuals from outside the district. Therefore, external
agencies or individuals desiring to conduct research studies or surveys involving either students
or staff members during the school day must submit a written prospectus to the
Superintendent or his/her designee, for approval prior to initiation of the study. To be
approved, all such research proposals or surveys must demonstrate that the projected findings
will have value to either the district as a whole or to a unit within the district, and not be unduly
disruptive or time consuming of the normal educational process.
