and instructional needs and 

effectiveness, programmatic needs and 

effectiveness, and extra-curricular and 

co-curricular activities. The information 

sought by these data collections will

from parents and students on new and 

existing policies and procedures. Data

Member of Group Certified to have 

Performed Active Duty with the Armed 

Forces of the United States,’’ which 

provides the necessary data to assist 

each of the Military Departments in
