statutory obligations. The IC Clearance 

Official, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of 

Management, publishes that notice 

containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission 

of these requests to OMB. Each

following: (1) Type of review requested, 

e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or 

reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of 

the collection; (4) Description of the 

need for, and proposed use of, the 

information; (5) Respondents and 

frequency of collection; and (6) 

Reporting and/or Recordkeeping 

burden. OMB invites public comment. 

The Department of Education is 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following issues: (1) Is 

this collection necessary to the proper 

functions of the Department; (2) will 

this information be processed and used 

in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate 

of burden accurate; (4) how might the 

Department enhance the quality, utility,

Burden Hours: 11,997. 

Abstract: This evaluation assesses the 

accomplishments of the Comprehensive 

School Reform (CSR) program in 

implementing school reform and 

thereby improving student achievement. 

The evaluation also makes a preliminary 

assessment of the conditions 

influencing the sustainability of reforms 

once federal CSR funding ends. The 

evaluation uses a variety of data sources 

to understand the complex interplay of 

state policies, school districts, 

educational support, and CSR school 

conditions affecting CSR 

implementation and outcomes. The 

major evaluation questions are: (1) To 

what extent have CSR-supported 

schools made gains on state assessments 

in comparison to gains for schools in the 

same state with similar characteristics; 

(2) How effective is CSR support for 

reform; (3) How have district policies 

and state policies affected CSR 

implementation and comprehensive 

school reform; (4) What implications 

can be drawn from CSR implementation 

and outcomes for reform in Title I 

schoolwides; and (5) How effective are 

various school reform activities in 

secondary schools, and to what extent 

can school progress be linked to 

comprehensive school reform. A mixed 

method approach will be used to collect 

appropriate data for addressing each 

evaluation question. The methods 

include mail surveys of 500 CSR 

program and non-CSR program schools, 

online surveys of 50 states and 65 

school districts, and case studies of 40 

‘‘sites’’ to produce an understanding of 

the dynamic of the actual relationships 

among school, district, and state actions, 

policies, and practices (each ‘‘site’’

consists of a CSR school and matched 

comparison school as well as the 

district, state, and support infrastructure 

in which the schools operate). 

Evaluators will be able to link 

information from these various sources 

in order to provide policymakers and 

other stakeholders with coherent 

findings.
