Title of Collection: Integrated
Evaluation of American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Funding,
Implementation and Outcomes.
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.
