Regarding evaluation: Is an external evaluator required or may a district redirect a current evaluators time to this proposal?
An external evaluator is not required. The local collaborative must determine the evaluation needs of its program and work to ensure that the best evaluation possible is carried out. Redirecting a current evaluator’s time to this program is permissible. • The California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) is completed anonymously; therefore, how would 21st CCLC programs be able to get program-level data from these surveys without having participating kids repeat the survey? Details are currently being addressed for the administration of the CHKS. A question will be added to the CHKS to determine whether or not a student participates in a school’s before-or after-school program. Data from these students will be collected in a manner that protects their rights to privacy. • What about the CHKS? Is it to be administered only to program participants or to the entire grade level of the school every year? Will an elementary school that administers the CHKS only to fifth graders be expected to give it
