Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development Type of Review: Revision. Title: Longitudinal Analysis of Comprehensive School Reform Implementation and Outcomes (LACIO). Frequency: On Occasion. Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Gov’t, SEAs or LEAs. Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: Responses: 1,210. Burden Hours: 1,230. Abstract: This request is for OMB approval of revised data collection associated with the Longitudinal Assessment of the Comprehensive School Reform Program Implementation and Outcomes (LACIO). Sec. 1606 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as reauthorized by the No Child Left Behind Act (Pub. L. 107 110) mandates activities to be conducted by K 12 schools across the country under ‘‘comprehensive school reform,’’ and Sec. 1607 mandates the National Evaluation. This request for the revision of OMB approval reflects a changed focus of the LACIO to address two concerns: (1) The extent to which the federal funds actually played the anticipated catalytic role and schools continue reform after CSR funding ended; and (2) the lessons from CSR that can be applied to school actions to successfully stimulate improved student achievement. This modification enables the Department of Education to respond to the changing policy environment and the need for information related to how high-poverty, low-achieving schools improve and sustain student outcomes. Under the modification, the contractor will conduct a study of the policies and processes implemented in schools that have turned around (failing schools that have improved their student performance dramatically), comparing these successful schools with those that are less successful, and examining the extent to which components in the Turnaround Evidence Review by Public Impact for the Center on Innovation and Improvement (CII) are apparent in successfully reforming schools. In addition, the contractor augmented the framework, adding attention to staff capacity and development, distributed leadership, external assistance, and E:\FR\FM\13JYN1.SGM 13JYN1
