Policy 9900: Education Research Agencies

The contributions of appropriate educational research to teaching and school administration are recognized by the Board. The District will cooperate when possible with colleges, universities, and other recognized agencies to promote educational research to: 

1. Increase professional knowledge of teaching and learning processes and the social setting in which they operate;
2. Sharpen perception of instructional and administrative problems;
3. Establish instructional and management objectives; and
4. Assess progress toward accomplishment of District objectives. 

All requests for use of District staff, scholars, or facilities for purposes of educational research will be submitted in writing to the Superintendent. The Superintendent's decision as to the appropriateness and value of the proposed research and whether or not to engage in the research/study will be final.
