Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 193 / Wednesday, October 6, 2010 / Notices 61711 

districts report in the decision-making 

and planning for implementation across 

the various streams of funds? Are 

districts that receive funds directly (e.g., 

thru I3) employing strategies that are 

consistent with their state’s policies and 

plans (e.g., under Race to the Top)? On 

an ongoing basis, what challenges do 

grantees face in enacting their plans and 

what successes have they had? 

• Outcomes: Is receiving more ARRA 

funds or certain types of funds 

associated with improvement in student 

outcomes or other key measures (e.g., 

more equitable distribution of teacher 

quality)? 

The integrated evaluation will draw 

on existing data, including ED data 

collections, ED ARRA program files, 

ARRA required reporting, and databases 

of achievement and other outcomes. The 

evaluation will also collect new 

information through surveys of (1) The 

50 states and the District of Columbia, 

(2) a nationally representative sample of 

school districts, and (3) a nationally 

representative sample of schools within 

the sampled school districts. Surveys 

are planned for spring 2011, spring 

2012, and spring 2013. Subsamples of 

school districts will also be drawn to 

receive a smaller set of questions (polls); 

these polls will be administered twice 

between 2011 and 2013. 

A report will be prepared in the first 

year of the evaluation to describe the 

distribution of funding. A report and 

state tabulations will be prepared after 

each annual survey. The first report, 

based on the 2011 surveys, will focus on 

early ARRA implementation and 

strategies. The second report, based on 

the 2012 surveys, will expand upon 

strategies implemented under ARRA. 

The final report will draw upon existing 

data on outcomes as well as data from 

the 2013 surveys.
