Title of Collection: School Pulse Panel 

2024–25 Data Collection. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0969. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 53,955. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 10,175. 

Abstract: The School Pulse Panel is an 

ongoing study conducted by the 

National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES), part of the Institute of 

Education Sciences (IES), within the 

United States Department of Education, 

to collect extensive data on current and 

emerging issues concerning students 

and staff in U.S. public primary, middle, 

high, and combined-grade schools. 

Specifically, the survey will ask school 

leaders about topics such as staffing, 

college and career readiness, artificial 

intelligence, tutoring, summer and afterschool programs, facilities, and learning 

strategies and recovery, among other 

topics. The SPP has become one of the 

nation’s main sources of timely and 

reliable data on issues concerning the 

education environment, as reported by 

principals in U.S. public schools. 

The preliminary activities for the 

2024–25 data collection was formally 

cleared in January 2024 (OMB# 1850– 

0969 v.12) and the SPP monthly data 

collection package was formally cleared 

in June 2024 (OMB# 1850–0969 v.13). A 

change request (v.14) was cleared in 

June 2024 to make changes to the 2024– 

25 preliminary activities package in 

order to modify the July 2024 

communication materials and screener 

survey. A change request (v.15) was 

cleared in August 2024 to make changes 

to the August 2024, September 2024, 

and October 2024 instruments, informed 

by cognitive testing results with school 

staff. A 30-day public comment period 

package (v.16) was cleared in October 

2024 that included new items (within 

the scope of the research domains 

previously established) to be collected 

on the November 2024, December 2024, 

and January 2025 instruments, as well 

as planned items for the rest of the 

study year, through June 2025. A change 

request (v.17) was cleared in November 

2024 to make changes to the December 

2024, January 2025, and February 2025 

instruments, informed by cognitive 

testing results with school staff. 

The new revision (v.18) is focused on 

a 30-day public comment period on new 

items (within the scope of the research 

domains previously established) to be 

collected on the March 2025-June 2025 

School Pulse Panels. These items are 

considered very close to final and will 

go through minimal testing with school 

personnel to examine any

comprehension concerns with item 

wording. This testing will occur 

simultaneously with when the package 

is out for the 30-day public comment 

period. Feedback from this testing, as 

well as additional input from SPP 

stakeholders, will result in 

modifications and additions that will be 

reflected in future change requests. The 

costs to the government have not 

changed as a result of this amendment, 

nor has the projected respondent 

burden.
