9768 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 42 / Monday, March 5, 2007 / Notices 

From FY 1999 through FY 2004, 

grants of $1 million to $3 million 

annually for 3 years were awarded to 

190 LEAs, for a total of $916 million. 

Approximately 40 new SS/HS grants 

were awarded in FY 2005. These grants 

are providing support for rural, tribal, 

suburban, and urban communities that 

include diverse racial and ethnic groups 

across the country. 

In compliance with the Government 

Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 

1993, grantees are required to collect 

and report data that measure the results 

of the programs implemented with this 

grant. Specifically, grantees are required 

to collect and report information on the 

following GPRA indicators: 

1. The percentage of SS/HS grant sites 

that experience a decrease in the 

number of violent incidents at schools. 

2. The percentage of SS/HS grant sites 

that experience a decrease in substance 

abuse. 

3. The percentage of SS/HS grant sites 

that improve school attendance. 

4. The percentage of SS/HS grant sites 

that increase mental health services to 

students and families. 

In addition to GPRA measures, the 

Federal Evaluation Work Group of the 

Safe School/Healthy Students (SS/HS) 

Initiative national evaluation, 

comprised of Federal officials 

representing the U.S. Departments of 

Education, Health and Human Services, 

and Justice, determined that information 

on changes in school climate is also 

required to provide a direct basis of 

comparison for performance with 

subsequent cohorts of grantees. 

Although GPRA measures monitor 

changes in individual outcomes among 

students, GPRA measures have been 

found to provide an incomplete metric 

of performance in terms of observed in 

changes in overall ‘‘school climate.’’

The SS/HS National Evaluation Team 

proposes to adopt the staff version of the 

California Healthy Kids Survey for this 

purpose. This instrument contains 43 

multiple choice questions that are used 

to obtain school staff perceptions of 

student behavior and attitudes, school 

programs and policies, and the overall 

school climate as they relate to student 

well-being and learning. It deals with 

such issues as truancy, safety, 

harassment, substance abuse, school 

connectedness and learning supports. 

The instrument, modified slightly to 

form the SS/HS School Climate Survey, 

will track changes in school climate in 

schools targeted for program services 

under the SS/HS Initiative. In the 

absence of the School Climate Survey, 

there would be no common, cross-site 

measure of performance across SS/HS 

initiative grantees. In practice, the 

School Climate Survey will be 

administered electronically among 

approximately 67,500 local educational 

system employees. These employees 

will be encouraged to log onto a Web 

site during each year that their school 

benefits from the grant to answer 

questions concerning their perception of 

student behavior and safety at the 

school.

survey is as follows:
