THIS QUESTIONNAIRE WILL BE ADMINISTERED USING WEB-BASED INTERVIEW TECHNOLOGY. AS THE RESPONDENT TYPES RESPONSES TO THE QUESTIONS INTO THE COMPUTER, THE INTERVIEW PROGRAM WILL 1) DISPLAY THE CORRECT TENSE OF VERBS, 2) PROVIDE ALTERNATE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS (E.G., NOT APPLICABLE, “I DON’T KNOW”), 3) NAVIGATE COMPLEX SKIP PATTERNS, AND 4) PERFORM OTHER USEFUL FUNCTIONS.

  1. This questionnaire focuses on your district’s policies and practices regarding school policy and environment.

  2. For the purposes of this questionnaire, “policy” means any law, rule, regulation, administrative order, or similar kind of mandate issued by the local school board or other local agency with authority over schools in your district. SHPPS is most interested in what is required by the district, not what is recommended or contained in non-binding guidance documents, unless the question specifically asks about recommendations.

  3. For the purposes of this questionnaire, “adopted a policy” means either that the district has its own policy or that the district follows a policy established at the state level, including any law, rule, regulation, administrative order, or similar kind of mandate.

  4. If a district policy is worded in such a way that it requires schools to develop and adopt their own policies on a given topic, for the purposes of this questionnaire please consider it the same as a district-wide requirement.

  5. Districts may sometimes grant policy exceptions or waivers, but please answer each question based on what is considered the general policy and standard practice in your district.

  6. Please do not consider school practices or policies when answering the questions. This information is gathered during data collection from schools across the country.

  7. For the purposes of this questionnaire, “elementary school” refers to a school that contains any of grades K–5. “Middle school” refers to a school that contains any of grades 6–8. Some jurisdictions may refer to these schools as “junior high schools.” “High school” refers to a school that contains any of grades 10–12. Some jurisdictions may refer to these schools as “senior high schools.”
