School Climate Survey Pilot
In the 2018-19 school year, the New York State Education Department (NYSED) is working 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 .
Through this collaboration with district and school staff and other partners, NYSED will develop guidance on forming a school climate improvement team, using school climate survey and other relevant data to develop and implement a school climate improvement action plan.
