Board approves Drug-Free Wilco survey; parents must opt in
Summary
Board approved an opt-in Drug-Free Wilco survey for selected schools; staff will push permissions through Skyward and a board member cautioned that self-reported results from middle-schoolers should be interpreted carefully.
The board voted to approve the Drug-Free Wilco survey, which is connected to state youth-risk assessment efforts and the CDC's data collection. Staff noted the district will administer the survey in three selected schools (middle-school 8th graders and high-school 10th and 12th graders) and will require parental opt-in under new rules. The board passed the recommendation 7-0.
A board member cautioned trustees that these are self-reported surveys and that middle-school students do not always answer questions reliably. Staff said they will distribute opt-in information via Skyward after board approval.
The board approved the motion unanimously and staff will release parent permission steps and the survey instrument to families after the board's action.
