    OMB Control Number: 1850-0877.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 5,551.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 5,039.
    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 capacity for success, and increased productivity and 
effectiveness.
    This evaluation will focus on answering three 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?
    The integrated evaluation will draw on existing data, including 
U.S. 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 were conducted in spring 2011 and are planned for 
spring 2012.
    A report will be prepared 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.
