The DoDEA Sure Start Parent Questionnaire measures the satisfaction level of parents/sponsors of students enrolled in DoDEA Sure Start programs. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Annual Burden Hours: 11. Number of Respondents: 33. Responses Per Respondent: 2. Average Burden Per Response: 10 minutes. Frequency: Biannually. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES Summary of Information Collection The DoDEA Sure Start program is an educational program for preschoolers who are ‘‘at risk’’ for later school failure because of economic circumstance or other health and/or family factors. Because this program is expensive to replicate, it is reserved for those children and families who will most benefit from participation in the program. As specified in the internal document, ‘‘Sure Start Program Guide 2007–2008 Department of Defense Education Activity,’’ DoDEA Sure Start staff is required to assess the quality of the program as a whole. One component of this program assessment is the completion of a parent questionnaire, which when combined with additional data elements, will be used to develop the annual progress plan. The Sure Start Parent Questionnaire measures the satisfaction level of parents/sponsors of students enrolled in DoDEA Sure Start programs. This questionnaire will be handed out during mid-year parent meetings and again at the end of the year as part of the on-going program evaluation. Individual schools are charged with administering the questionnaire to the parents of students in the Sure Start program. If a student withdraws prior to the end of the school year, the family will be given the questionnaire. Responses will be tallied by each school and forwarded to the Early Childhood specialist in each area (DDESS, Europe, and the Pacific). Individual schools, in coordination with the area office and DoDEA Headquarters, will use these data to ensure that the Sure Start program is being implemented as required and to make continual program improvements. In addition to being informed in writing, all eligible respondents will be verbally informed that their participation is voluntary and no benefit/punishment is attached to a response or non-response.
