From time-to-time individuals or organizations request permission from principals or teachers to carry on a research study or conduct a survey in the schools. Such studies or surveys may involve students, staff or parents.

All proposed research projects and surveys must be authorized by the Superintendent of Schools. (A request by a student shall be accompanied by the approval of the student’s teacher and principal.)

The Superintendent of Schools will evaluate each request on the basis of:

• The clarity with which the objectives of the research are stated
• An indication that the design will produce valid and reliable results
• The extent to which the research will contribute to the improvement of education to and/or the general welfare of students and/or employees of the Whiteshell School District and
• The amount of time and effort required of students and employees as compared to the value of the information likely to be generated
