Approval  is required before beginning any research or evaluation project that involves district staff, students, facilities or functions in:
1. the collection of data from students, parents, teachers, administrators, or other professional staff; or
2. observations, surveys, focus groups, or individual interviews involving any of the above persons; or
3. the release of private data from district records. 

The Community Partner is responsible for completing the Outside Research Approval process and paying any applicable fees.
