In accordance with HB 182, all surveys intended to be given to students must be opt-in during the registration process at the beginning of the school year, including the ability for parents/guardians to review the actual questions. This legal mandate requires a process for submitting, reviewing, and preparing all surveys in a timely manner for the registration process. Every survey must be resubmitted annually through this process, including new and previously used surveys. Only approved surveys can be administered to students. This process will occur annually.
Process for school year 2026-27
April 24, 2026-Submission Deadline
All surveys must be submitted to the supervisor of Assessment & Evaluation, Dr. Patrick Jefferies (patrick.jefferies@slcschools.org). The submission must include a clear, easy-to-understand purpose statement, actual survey questions, the intended audience, and alignment with the SLCSD Strategic Plan.
Review Process
Submissions will be reviewed for clarity, purpose, and alignment with the SLCSD strategic plan by members of School Leadership & Support and Teaching & Learning. Clarifying questions or revisions might be asked of submitters during the process.
May 15, 2026 Approval
Approved surveys will be sent to the Chief Information Officer (CIO) for inclusion in the registration packet, along with the purpose statement and the survey questions. Survey questions will be locked and cannot be changed after submission to the CIO.
