Questions & Answers for SHS
Scored Question: Questions with assigned point values.
				Tracking Question: Newer categories/provisions of interest to monitor, or text responses to questions, that are not assigned point values.
				The points value for some questions is left blank because policies are currently being graded against only a sub-set of the rubric questions that directly relate to CX Indicators. These CX Indicator questions have a points value, and all additional questions have a blank value. In Phase 2 of the PETS website updates, the points value will be provided for all questions.
