SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau plans to request 

clearance for the collection of data 

concerning the School Enrollment 

Supplement to be conducted in 

conjunction with the October 2009 CPS. 

Title 13, United States Code, Section 

182, and Title 29, United States Code, 

Sections 1–9, authorize the collection of 

the CPS information. The Census 

Bureau and the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (BLS) sponsor the basic annual 

school enrollment questions, which 

have been collected annually in the CPS 

for 50 years. 

This survey provides information on 

public/private elementary school, 

secondary school, and college 

enrollment, and on characteristics of 

private school students and their 

families, which is used for tracking 

historical trends, policy planning, and 

support. 

This survey is the only source of 

national data on the age distribution and 

family characteristics of college students 

and the only source of demographic 

data on preprimary school enrollment. 

As part of the Federal government’s 

efforts to collect data and provide timely 

information to local governments for 

policymaking decisions, the survey 

provides national trends in enrollment 

and progress in school. 

II. Method of Collection 

The school enrollment information 

will be collected by both personal visit 

and telephone interviews in conjunction 

with the regular October CPS 

interviewing. All interviews are 

conducted using computer-assisted 

interviewing.
