School Climate Surveys. Following approval by OCR of the survey instrument and methodology for survey administration, the District will administer annually a comprehensive climate survey to students (grades 5-12), teachers/staff, and parents at all District schools designed to measure the perceptions of students and other members of the District community in connection with the administration of school discipline. In particular, the survey will measure perceptions of relationships among the school community members, school safety and fairness, and clarity of rules and behavioral expectations.

School Climate Surveys. In order to improve the performance of CTEA staff and students, the Director will administer a yearly school climate survey to measure the perceived experiences, attitudes, and opinions of students, staff and parents. These surveys will assess the perceptions of student motivation, the learning environment, instructor teaching methods and effectiveness, parent involvement, the effectiveness of the Director, and the quality of CTEA as a whole. The Board has developed a preliminary list of key themes and questions on which these surveys will be based.
School Climate Surveys. The Board intends to continue the climate surveys developed through the Reform Committee to continue to inform how various stakeholders view schools and their leaders, and it agrees to consult with and consider recommendations from the Reform Committee with respect to the design and implementation of such surveys.
School Climate Surveys a. The District currently administers annually a Climate Survey to students (grades 3-12), teachers/staff, and parents. The survey is administered separately to students, parents, and teachers/staff; it measures perceptions of relationships among the school community members (teacher-student, teacher-parent, and student relationships), school safety and fairness and clarity of rules and behavioral expectations. The survey includes a supplemental scale to measure positive and punitive disciplinary techniques.
b. In collaboration with the consultant, the District will review the Climate Surveys for students, parents and teachers/staff to assess whether it is comprehensive and effective in measuring the perceptions of students and other members of the District community in connection with the administration of school discipline. If the District and the consultant determine that the Climate Survey adequately assesses student, parents, and teacher/staff perceptions concerning the administration of school discipline, the District will provide annually to OCR a summary report of the substance of the responses, as well as the response rate by students, parents and teachers/staff for each annual administration of the surveys. For the purposes of this Agreement, all schools shall participate in the Climate Survey.
c. If the District and the consultant determine that the Climate Surveys currently administered by the District do not adequately assess student, parent and teacher/staff perceptions concerning the administration of school discipline, the District, in collaboration with the consultant, will develop school climate surveys designed to assess those perceptions for review by OCR. Upon OCR’s review, the District will administer annually the school Climate Surveys developed with collaboration by the consultant and the District to all students, parents, and teachers/staff and will encourage participation. The District will provide to OCR a summary report of the substance of the responses, as well as the response rate by students, parents and teachers/staff for each annual administration of the surveys.
