  • YRBS Background Information and Frequently Asked Que...

    Dear Parents/Guardians, Burlington Public Schools acknowledges that errors occurred during the administration of the 2025 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), and we understand that these mistakes have caused significant concern among some families. Specifically, the administration acknowledges that there were flaws and inconsistencies regarding the opt- out process. We also recognize the critical importance of clear communication with families, especially regarding student participation in surveys of this nature. It is essential that all staff understand and respect a student’s right to opt-out of such surveys. Additionally, the communication between our Wellness Committee and our public health consultant, JSI, was not effective. JSI made additions to the definitions used in the 2025 survey from the 2023 version without informing the Wellness Committee. This lack of communication led to misunderstandings and incorrect assumptions. We are no longer contracting with JSI to create and host the YRBS. To address some of the misunderstandings, we have created a public space on our website that provides answers to many of the questions raised during school committee meetings. [click here] In addition to this information, we are engaging an independent investigator to review the survey development and implementation process, and to make recommendations to the school committee moving forward. We remain committed to transparency, accountability, and the well-being of all students. We deeply value our continued partnership with families and the broader Burlington community. Thank you for your ongoing support. Sincerely, Eric M. Conti Superintendent BPS Accessibility Statement If you need assistance accessing our facilities, please contact Burlington Public Schools at burlingtonpublicschools@bpsk12.org and we will work with you to provide the information you need.
