left DoDEA high schools is necessary. 

All students in grades 9–12 who leave 

DoDEA high schools for any reason (i.e., 

Permanent Change of Station (PCS), 

graduation, etc.) and their sponsors will 

be contacted 3 to 5 months after their 

departure by a telephonic survey. Four

and one for their sponsors; one for 

DoDEA high school graduates and one

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Summary of Information Collection 

The High School Initiative will be 

evaluated to determine if quality 

educational programs are provided to all 

DoDEA high school students regardless 

of where the high school is located. The 

study entails the development of data 

collection methods and procedures, as 

well as the analysis of data to document 

the use of resources and the impact on 

student achievement in grades 9–12. 

The study will use a telephonic 

interview technique to determine the 

success of the initiative in helping 

students prepare for educational 

experiences after leaving Department of 

Defense (DoD) schools either through 

graduation, permanent change of station 

of the sponsor, or for any other reason. 

Four telephone surveys have been 

developed: one for all DoDEA sponsors 

and one for students who leave DoDEA 

for any reason other than graduation; 

one for DoDEA sponsors of graduates 

and students who graduate. These four 

telephone surveys include questions on 

transition, curriculum, courses, 

activities, counselors, teachers, 

administrators, and summary issues. 

Respondents will respond 3 to 5 months 

after leaving a DoDEA high school for 

any reason and then again one year 

later.
