**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.

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 opportunityto 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.
