Officer, Department of Defense. 

Deletion: 

DHRA 03 

PERSEREC Export Violations 

Database (November 15, 2002, 67 FR 

69205). 

REASON: 

The NARA approved records 

retention is TEMPORARY. Destroy 2 

years after completion of final action 

(GRS 18, Item 24). The final cases were 

closed in the late 1990s and those 

records were subsequently destroyed. 

Since all records have properly been 

destroyed, there is no longer a need to 

maintain this system of records notice. 

Therefore, DHRA 03, PERSEREC Export 

Violations Database can be deleted.

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be

Title of Collection: Implementation of 

Title I/II Program Initiatives. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW. 

Type of Review: A new collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 12,321. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 6,573. 

Abstract: The Implementation of Title 

I/II Program Initiatives study will 

examine the implementation of policies 

promoted through the Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act (ESEA) at the 

state, district and school levels, in four 

core areas: state content standards, 

aligned assessments, accountability and 

school turnaround, and development of 

effective teachers and leaders. 

The purpose of this new data 

collection is to provide policy makers 

with detailed information on the 

progress being made on the core policies 

promoted by Title I and Title II, and the 

recent granting of ESEA Flexibility to 

states. Although other research studies 

cover similar topics on recent federal 

education policy, the breadth of 

research questions and the depth of 

responses from all SEAs and three levels 

of nationally representative samples, 

sets the Title I/II study apart from other 

studies. 

This study will rely on information 

collected from existing sources, for 

which there are no respondents or 

burden, and on a new set of surveys in 

order to address the study’s research 

questions. Extant data sources include 

(a) the National Assessment of 

Educational Progress (NAEP); (b) 

EDFacts data; (c) information about 

teacher preparation and certification 

programs and policies; and (d) state 

documents. 

The new surveys of states and 

districts will begin in 2013 and the 

surveys of schools (principals) and 

teachers will begin in 2014. All 

respondents will have the opportunity 

to complete an electronic (email or webbased) survey (or paper survey, if 

preferred). The survey respondents are 

described briefly below. 

State Surveys. The state survey will 

be sent to the chief state school officer 

in each of the 50 states and the District 

of Columbia. The state surveys will be 

administered using an electronic 

instrument divided into modules 

corresponding to the four core areas. 

District Surveys. The district survey 

will be sent to school superintendents 

from a nationally representative sample 

of 570 school districts. The district 

survey will be web-based and 

modularized, corresponding to the four 

core areas, to allow for completion by 

one or multiple respondents. 

School Surveys. The school survey 

will be sent to principals from a 

nationally representative sample of 

1,300 schools. The school survey will be 

web-based and address issues in the 

four core areas. 

Teacher Surveys. The teacher survey 

will be sent to a nationally 

representative sample of teachers 

selected from the sampled schools. A 

total of 9,100 teachers will be asked to 

complete a web-based survey that 

addresses issues in the four core areas. 

Teacher Rosters. Principals from 

sampled schools will be asked to 

provide a comprehensive list of teachers 

in their schools, which will be used as 

the sampling frame for the teacher 

sample. Principals will be asked to 

identify their school’s grade span and 

list all teachers along with their email 

address, main grade, subjects taught, 

(e.g., Reading/English/Language Arts, 

Mathematics, Science and Other), and 

whether the teacher teaches a class in 

which students are tested for 

accountability requirements under 

ESEA.
