Yes. A School Guidance Document and Division Guidance Document provide the opportunity to collect all necessary data prior to completing the online survey.  It is strongly recommended that all persons taking the survey utilize these guidance documents prior to beginning the actual survey.

Keep in mind, you won’t necessarily be asked all of the questions you see listed. Depending on how you respond to a certain question, you may or may not be prompted to respond to a follow-up question.

Surveys not completed by the deadline will not be included in the annual Virginia school safety report. Superintendents of schools not completing the survey on time will be notified of non- compliant schools. A list of non-compliant schools may be published in the annual report.
