Title of Collection: Integrated
Evaluation of ARRA Funding,
Implementation and Outcomes.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Agency Form Number(s): N/A.
Frequency of Responses: Once.
Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal
Government.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 5,551.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 1,509.
Abstract: On February 17, 2009,
President Obama signed the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
into law (Pub. L. 111–50). ARRA
supports investments in innovative
strategies that are intended to lead to
improved results for students, long-term
gains in school and local education
agency (LEA) capacity for success, and
increased productivity and
effectiveness.
This evaluation will focus on
answering four sets of research
questions:
• Money: Which states/districts/
schools get which program funds, when,
and how much? What do they spend it
on? How much overlap is there across

ARRA funding streams in terms of who
receives the funding or what grantees do
with it?
• Strategies: What efforts and
activities are underway as a result of
each of the ARRA programs and overall?
What state policies are changing or
being enacted? What specific
interventions are districts and schools
implementing? How do the strategies
line up with the four assurances or with
the specific strategies promoted by the
different programs?
• Implementation Process: How
much coordination do states and
districts report in the decision-making
and planning for implementation across
the various streams of funds? Are
districts that receive funds directly (e.g.,
thru I3) employing strategies that are
consistent with their state’s policies and
plans (e.g., under Race to the Top)? On
an ongoing basis, what challenges do
grantees face in enacting their plans and
what successes have they had?
• Outcomes: Is receiving more ARRA
funds or certain types of funds
associated with improvement in student
outcomes or other key measures (e.g.,
more equitable distribution of teacher
quality)?
The integrated evaluation will draw
on existing data, including ED data
collections, ED ARRA program files,
ARRA required reporting, and databases
of achievement and other outcomes. The
evaluation will also collect new
information through surveys of (1) The
50 states and the District of Columbia,
(2) a nationally representative sample of
school districts, and (3) a nationally
representative sample of schools within
the sampled school districts. Surveys
are planned for spring 2011, spring
2012, and spring 2013. Subsamples of
school districts will also be drawn to
receive a smaller set of questions (polls);
these polls will be administered twice
between 2011 and 2013.
A report will be prepared in the first
year of the evaluation to describe the
distribution of funding. A report and
state tabulations will be prepared after
each annual survey. The first report,
based on the 2011 surveys, will focus on
early ARRA implementation and
strategies. The second report, based on
the 2012 surveys, will expand upon
strategies implemented under ARRA.
The final report will draw upon existing
data on outcomes as well as data from
the 2013 surveys.
