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, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (5) how 

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

Title of Collection: Implementation of 

Title I/II–A Program Initiatives. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0902. 

Type of Review: A reinstatement of a 

previously approved information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 770. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 821. 

Abstract: The second round of data 

collection for the Implementation of 

Title I/II–A Program Initiatives study 

will continue to examine the 

implementation of policies promoted 

through the Elementary and Secondary 

Education Act (ESEA) at the state and 

district levels, in four core areas: School 

accountability and support for lowperforming schools, improving teacher 

and leader effectiveness, state content 

standards, and assessments. The first 

round of data collection for this study 

was conducted in Spring and Summer 

2014. 

The purpose of this follow-up data 

collection is to provide policy makers 

with detailed information on the core 

policies promoted by Title I and Title 

II–A being implemented at the state and 

district levels, and the resources and 

supports they provide to schools and 

teachers. The timing of the data 

collection is critical to provide early 

information on the implementation of 

the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) 

in the 2017–18 school year. 

This study will rely on information 

collected from existing sources, for 

which there are no respondents or 

burden, and on a set of revised state and 

district surveys based on the 2014 data 

collection in order to address the 

study’s research questions. Extant data 

sources include (a) the National 

Assessment of Educational Progress 

(NAEP) and (b) EDFacts data. 

The revised surveys of states and 

school districts will begin in March 

2018. All respondents will have the 

opportunity to complete an electronic 

(e.g., web-based) survey (or paper 

survey, if preferred). The survey 

respondents are described briefly below: 

State Surveys: The state survey will 

be sent to the chief state school officer 

in each of the 50 states and the District 

of Columbia. The state surveys will be 

administered using an electronic 

instrument divided into modules 

corresponding to the four core areas. 

School District Surveys. The school 

district survey will be sent to school 

superintendents from the same 

nationally representative sample of 570 

school districts that participated in the 

2014 survey, as well as a new nationally 

representative sample of 149 charter 

school districts. The district survey will 

be web-based and modularized, 

corresponding to the four core areas, to 

allow for completion by one or multiple 

respondents.
