Board Policy 4280 ~ Research Activity; First Reading

While the Medical Lake School District recognizes the value of supporting research of outside educational entities, (i.e. ~ student teachers not placed with us) it does not guarantee the right to access Medical Lake School District's students, staff, or data for research purposes. This policy states that if research activity access is granted, the researcher must have submitted a research proposal and can only access schools, students, staff, and data relevant to the research as approved by the district. In addition, the search will not disrupt the daily structure of the school day.
