Existing or Other Survey

Option 4: Existing or Other Survey

Description: This survey allows grantees to use an existing assessment to determine the effectiveness of the program; however, there are two required questions that must be asked of students:

1. How frequently did the student perceive himself or herself to be a target of bullying?
2. How frequently did the student witness bullying at his or her school?

Benefits: Schools have the option to use a survey that is already being used in the school.
