| 1Respondents were asked the extent to which they agreed or disagreed with the statement "rules for student behavior are consistently enforced by teachers in this school, even for students who are not in their classes." | ||||||||||||||||||
| 2Locale data prior to 2003-04 are not comparable to data based on current definitions. Interpret 2015-16 data on city teachers with caution. After nonresponse adjustments, the nonresponse bias for this category is greater than for other characteristics. | ||||||||||||||||||
| 3Respondents were asked the extent to which they agreed or disagreed with the statement "my principal enforces school rules for student conduct and backs me up when I need it." | ||||||||||||||||||
| NOTE: Teachers who taught only prekindergarten students are excluded. Percentages represent both teachers who "strongly" agreed and those who "somewhat" agreed that rules were enforced by other teachers and the principal. Includes teachers in both traditional public schools and public charter schools. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. | ||||||||||||||||||
