	ANSWERS TO SOME BASIC QUESTIONS:  

 WHY AM I BEING ASKED TO COMPLETE THIS SURVEY?

We are collecting data about crime in schools and how it affects students.  Your participation is important so the results can represent students like you from all around the country.

 DO I HAVE TO TAKE THE SURVEY?
 
The survey is voluntary, and there are no penalties for not participating, but we hope that you respond because your answers are important to us.

 WHAT WILL THE SURVEY ASK ME?

We will ask you about fighting, bullying, weapons, and drugs and gangs at school, among other things.

 WILL ANYONE FIND OUT WHAT MY ANSWERS ARE?

Your answers to the SCS survey are completely confidential.  We will never give your answers to anyone.

 WHY ARE MY ANSWERS TO THE SCS SURVEY IMPORTANT?

It's important for parents and teachers to understand problems that students like you might have at school in order to help.  The information we collect in the SCS survey also helps lawmakers and other government officials make decisions about school safety.
