Overview
In 2019, the Utah State Legislature created the School Safety Data Analyst position, funded through House Bill (H.B.) 120 Student and School Safety Assessment, to collect and analyze multiple data elements for school safety. The Utah School Safety Data page offers transparency and ease of access to the data that is used to inform policy and guidelines that keep our students, teachers, school staff, and administrators safe.
School Climate Survey
The Utah State Board of Education (USBE) created the School Climate Survey to measure and assess stakeholder perceptions of school environments throughout Utah in all K-12 public schools. The survey is administered by Local Education Agencies (LEAs) in the spring of odd-numbered years (opposite the Teacher Engagement Survey). The student survey is administered in the classroom by a teacher or aide. Respondent groups include students (grouped by grades), administrators, teachers, staff, parents, and School Resource Officers (SROs).
