School Climate Survey Pilot

In the 2018-19 school year, the New York State Education Department (NYSED) worked with school and district administrators in approximately 100 school districts to implement a pilot of the U.S. Department of Education school climate surveys. Information about administering the survey, including a list of survey items, is available from the National Center on Safe and Supportive Learning Environments.

For more information about how some school districts are promoting healthy school climates, view the following materials:
