District to run Oregon Student Health Survey in late January; families to receive opt‑out notice
Summary
District staff said the Oregon Student Health Survey will be administered in late January to grades 6, 8 and 11; families will receive information 10 days prior and may opt students out of participation.
District administrators told the board the Oregon Student Health Survey is scheduled to run in late January and is intended to capture trends in student belonging, mental health and other well‑being indicators. The district will send families information about the survey 10 days beforehand and provide an opt‑out option.
The superintendent emphasized that the survey is voluntary for students and not mandated for districts to require participation. "Families will have the option to opt out," an administrator said, and staff noted the survey results typically take three to six months to return and will be used in combination with other local measures to inform SEL programming and resource allocation.
Board members asked about grade levels and implementation details; administrators confirmed the survey targets grades 6, 8 and 11 and that the district will communicate the purpose and opt‑out process to families ahead of the administration window.
