increased productivity and
effectiveness.
This evaluation will focus on
answering four sets of policy/research
questions:
• To what extent did ARRA funds go
to the intended recipients?
• Is ARRA associated with the
implementation of the key reform
strategies it promoted?
• What implementation supports and
challenges are associated with ARRA?
• Is ARRA associated with improved
outcomes?
The integrated evaluation will draw
on existing data, including the
Department of Education (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.
