Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 42 / Monday, March 5, 2007 / Notices
From FY 1999 through FY 2004,
grants of $1 million to $3 million
annually for 3 years were awarded to
190 LEAs, for a total of $916 million.
Approximately 40 new SS/HS grants
were awarded in FY 2005. These grants
are providing support for rural, tribal,
suburban, and urban communities that
include diverse racial and ethnic groups
across the country.
In compliance with the Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of
1993, grantees are required to collect
and report data that measure the results
of the programs implemented with this
grant. Specifically, grantees are required
to collect and report information on the
following GPRA indicators:
1. The percentage of SS/HS grant sites
that experience a decrease in the
number of violent incidents at schools.
2. The percentage of SS/HS grant sites
that experience a decrease in substance
abuse.
3. The percentage of SS/HS grant sites
that improve school attendance.
4. The percentage of SS/HS grant sites
that increase mental health services to
students and families.
In addition to GPRA measures, the
Federal Evaluation Work Group of the
Safe School/Healthy Students (SS/HS)
Initiative national evaluation,
comprised of Federal officials
representing the U.S. Departments of
Education, Health and Human Services,
and Justice, determined that information
on changes in school climate is also
required to provide a direct basis of
comparison for performance with
subsequent cohorts of grantees.
Although GPRA measures monitor
changes in individual outcomes among
students, GPRA measures have been
found to provide an incomplete metric
of performance in terms of observed in
changes in overall ‘‘school climate.’’
The SS/HS National Evaluation Team
proposes to adopt the staff version of the
California Healthy Kids Survey for this
purpose. This instrument contains 43
multiple choice questions that are used
to obtain school staff perceptions of
student behavior and attitudes, school
programs and policies, and the overall
school climate as they relate to student
well-being and learning. It deals with
such issues as truancy, safety,
harassment, substance abuse, school
connectedness and learning supports.
The instrument, modified slightly to
form the SS/HS School Climate Survey,
will track changes in school climate in
schools targeted for program services
under the SS/HS Initiative. In the
absence of the School Climate Survey,
there would be no common, cross-site
measure of performance across SS/HS
initiative grantees. In practice, the
School Climate Survey will be
administered electronically among
approximately 67,500 local educational
system employees. These employees
will be encouraged to log onto a Web
site during each year that their school
benefits from the grant to answer
questions concerning their perception of
student behavior and safety at the
school.
The burden estimate for the annual
survey is as follows:
