CLIMATE ASSESSMENT. The District will administer a school climate survey at the District’s middle and high schools before the end of the first semester of the 2023-2024 school year. The survey can be part of a larger survey regarding school climate already being used, or planned to be used, by any of the middle or high schools. The District will identify staff members to serve as a District Climate Survey Working Group (Working Group), which will make recommendations to the District regarding the climate survey. The District will designate one or more employees to coordinate the Working Group’s meetings and activities, and the employee(s) will be responsible for informing the District of the Working Group’s recommendations.

CLIMATE ASSESSMENT. By December 15, 2014, and again by December 15, 2015, the University’s Title IX Coordinator will conduct assessments of campus climate to assess the effectiveness of steps taken pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise by the University, to provide for a campus free of sex discrimination, including sexual harassment. The purpose of the climate checks is to, at a minimum, assess the scope of the students’ and employees’ knowledge of what constitutes sex discrimination (including sexual harassment); any personal or observed experiences with sex discrimination while attending the University; the students’ and employees’ view of the current climate at the University regarding these issues and any potentially problematic areas on campus (e.g., dormitories, athletic facilities); the students’ and employees’ knowledge and understanding of the University’s Title IX policies and procedures and to whom to report sex discrimination (including sexual harassment) should they witness or experience it; and suggestions for steps the University could take to effectively address these issues. A climate assessment can be conducted in many ways, including but not limited to a survey distributed in-person or online, or a poll conducted in-person or online. In addition, the campus may organize an open forum information session for students and employees, and designated, publicized walk-in hours for campus community input. If the University opts to use a survey or poll, the University first will submit the survey or poll to OCR for review and approval prior to its distribution. The University will use information gathered during these climate assessments to inform future proactive steps taken by the University to provide for a safe educational environment and compliance with Title IX. Finally, part of the University’s ongoing climate assessments will include ensuring students and employees know who they can report concerns about sex discrimination to, and which sources are confidential sources and which are required to report the information to the University.
CLIMATE ASSESSMENT. By December 15, 2015, the University will provide for OCR’s review and approval a detailed plan regarding conducting focus groups as described above, including a list of topics it proposes to address with the focus groups.
