Research conducted in the public schools must receive approval from both the UTEP IRB and the School District Administration within which the investigator plans to conduct the study.
When the study has received approval from the IRB, a conditional approval letter will be provided. The investigator should then forward this letter to the relevant school district administration with the request for formal approval. Once approval has been provided by the school district, the investigator will need to create a new package on IRBNet, upload the approval letter from the school district, sign, and submit the study to the IRB again for final approval.

Second Version
Public School Research
All research conducted within and/or in schools or school districts requires approval from the district prior t o review. Typically, district approval is a site letter (on district letter head) signed by the district superintendent.
Those PIs whose assent and/or parental consent forms contain an “abuse will be reported” statement should clearly print that statement in bold.
For all pre-K through college level investigations, please distinguish clearly between research stimuli and regular classroom curricula.
PIs need to add to the assent form, that if "the student feels distressed while participating in the study that they should contact the school counselor" followed by the school counselor's name and phone number.
