1. Dear Student,
Thank you for taking the time to complete this rubric of your school. These rubrics will be used as a means of assessing the needs and accomplishments of your school so that the Safe School Project will be better situated to help create safer schools for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) youth.
The mission of the Santa Cruz County Safe Schools Project is to raise awareness of the atmosphere queer youth face on school campuses in Santa Cruz County, advocate for the enforcement of AB 537, The California Student Safety & Violence Prevention Act of 2000, and be a catalyst for action in each Santa Cruz County school district to make schools safer for all youth.
This survey is completely confidential and does not ask for your name. It should only take five to ten minutes of your time. If there are any questions you do not have enough information about to answer, feel free to skip them or to tell us that the question is unclear in the attached comment box.
Please remember that although no rubric is ever complete, you should try to answer to the best of your knowledge. These rubrics create a snapshot of your district at a specific time and they are designed to be administered on a regular basis, giving each district the opportunity to publicize its continued efforts in supporting the lives of LGBTIQ youth.
If you would like to contact us for more information, you can call us at (831) 427-4014 or email us at info@QYTF.org.
Thank you again for your time,
The Safe Schools Project of Santa Cruz County
