Projects
The Office of Research and Evaluation leads and supports a variety of research and evaluation projects. We also review and approve all research activities conducted by external parties in District schools through our Research Review Committee. This page is a work in progress! Check back regularly for updates to our current projects. If you have any questions, please contact us. For an overall summary of our activities, please review our August 2018 summary of work across the Evaluation, Research, and Accountability (ERA) division here.
