Schools now have the option to add up to 15 extra questions at the end of the INYS. Schools can make up their own questions based on local interests or can choose from existing questions from other national youth surveys. Simply modify the template provided and send us a copy of the extra questions before your survey date(s). The IPRC will provide analysis of these questions in the school corporation report of the survey results.
