The data showed <br />that RAS are becoming more ethnically diverse. It showed that in all grades students liked school <br />and felt there was a teacher who was interested and cared about them. It showed areas of concern <br />including students not feeling safe at school and in the restrooms. The data showed that many <br />students reported being made fun of because of race or background. <br />Commissioners asked what the background data referred to -whether it meant sexual <br />orientation, economic status, obesity or other factors. Commissioner Kennedy said that students <br />interpreted in howe-~er they wanted. She noted that there were questions about bullying which <br />she did not include in this report. <br />Commissioner Kennedy said the 2010 data would be available later this year. <br />7.
