Climate Surveys.

Climate Surveys. By October 26, 2018, in collaboration with the Compliance Coordinator, the District will develop and submit to OCR, for its review and approval, a climate survey for elementary4, middle, and high school students designed to gather information relating to student safety, the prevalence of bullying and harassment in the District, including bullying/harassment on the bases of race and sex, and the responsiveness of District personnel to student concerns. (The District may choose to expand the survey to address other school climate issues if desired.) When developing the climate survey, the District may take the ages of the students who will be surveyed into account and adjust the survey questions and/or administration method accordingly. Along with submitting the proposed climate survey(s), the District will provide OCR a written explanation of how the District intends to distribute, collect, and utilize the results of the survey(s).5 Within 120 days of receiving OCR approval of its proposed climate survey(s) for students, the District will administer the survey(s) and review the survey results. Based on its review of the survey results, the District will take appropriate corrective action to address the climate issues related to racial and sexual harassment identified through the survey(s). If the survey results do not provide sufficient information for the District to identify climate issues specifically related to racial and sexual harassment, the District will develop a plan, in conjunction with the Compliance Coordinator, for conducting targeted follow-up with students where the racial and/or sexual harassment of students appear to be most prevalent. (The District may conduct a targeted survey designed to identify climate issues specifically related to racial and sexual harassment or may identify other means of collecting the relevant information from students. Any targeted follow up may be limited to students in particular grade levels as warranted.) In developing the plan, the District may draw from the results of the employee climate survey required by item 8 of the Agreement and other sources of 4 The District may limit the climate survey for elementary students to students in third grade and above.

Climate Surveys. The District will administer a school climate assessment to staff, students, and parents/guardians in the District to evaluate the climate at each school site with respect to race and the extent to which students are subjected to, or witness race-based harassment. Participation in the survey by students and parents will be entirely voluntary, and the survey will be conducted in a manner consistent with applicable law. The survey shall specifically inquire about the experience, knowledge, and perceptions of employees, students, and parents/guardians about the climate at their school with respect to race, color, and national origin, and will assess whether employees, students, and parents/guardians have sufficient information about the District’s anti-discrimination policies and are able to find the appropriate resources when necessary. The District will analyze the results of the assessment, including perceptions among students of different racial or ethnic groups and will provide a proposed action plan to address any concerns identified based on the results.
