Dear Dr. Kilburg:
I have reviewed
the research proposal for Sally Jones entitled "Investigating Seniors'
Attitudes about College" and agree to its implementation here at
Bettendorf High School. It appears, too, that the estimated degree of risk
associated with the proposed study to our students is minimal, and there
are adequate safeguards built into the research to protect possible
participants. In addition, there are adequate measures included in the study’s
procedure to protect the anonymity of those participating in the research.
If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact me at Bettendorf High School at
332-0000.
Sincerely,
Melissa Harris
Principal, Bettendorf High School
