The Wilkes County Board of Education encourages agencies and individuals to conduct research on issues related to the effective operation of schools and student performance. The school district may assist in research projects when the research results ultimately may benefit students.
The superintendent may approve a request for participation in a research project if the project’s purpose and methodology are compatible with the goals and objectives of the Board of Education and school district and do not disrupt instructional time. The superintendent is encouraged to involve central office administrators, school administrators, teachers and parents in making this assessment.
Any project involving the survey of students will be in compliance with applicable federal regulations.
