There are four major reasons why BVSD may turn down your proposal:
1) your topic does not align with BVSD’s goals and priorities
2) your methodology requires an intense burden upon district / school resources
3) your research is not deemed rigorous enough to ensure the privacy of research participants; or will not result in findings that are defensible and valuable
4) a district sponsor for your project could not be found. Every approved research project will have an assigned district sponsor. A sponsor is a district staff member who will serve as a point person should a researcher have questions and will ensure that the research project proceeds as defined in the approved proposal.
