PVPUSD Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 6162.8 mandates that all research (including surveys) involving students, parents, or district personnel must have prior approval. Make certain your proposal is complete and that all requested information is provided. Incomplete proposals will delay the approval process. You will be notified when the review process is complete.

The review process typically takes 3-4 weeks. However, review time may vary depending on availability of staff. It is your responsibility to submit your proposal within our review timeline in order to meet your academic deadlines.
