SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general
public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed,
revised, and continuing collections of
information. This helps the Department
assess the impact of its information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. The Department of
Education is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Evaluation of the
Early Warning and Intervention
Monitoring System.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Type of Review: New collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 839.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 1,772.
Abstract: The U.S. Department of
Education (ED) requests clearance for
the recruitment materials and data
collection protocols for activities related
to the Regional Educational Laboratory
Program (REL). ED, in consultation with
American Institutes for Research (AIR),
is planning a two-part evaluation of the
Early Warning and Intervention
Monitoring System (EWIMS), consisting
of an impact study and an
implementation study. OMB approval is
being requested for a multimode data
collection and analysis of a group of
schools, students, and staff members in

public schools in Ohio, Michigan, and
Indiana. The impact study consists of
data collection from the state education
agencies (SEAs) in Ohio, Michigan, and
Indiana and participating districts and
schools. The implementation
component consists of data collection
from participating schools.
This impact study (designed as a
cluster randomized controlled trial) will
focus on student outcomes spanning
multiple domains of school success
(student risk status, scores on
graduation tests, persistence and
progress in school, and being on track
at the end of ninth grade) and will
examine whether the EWIMS model has
an impact on intermediate outcomes in
schools, including the schools data
culture and data-informed allocation of
dropout prevention interventions. The
implementation study will focus on
schools experience with
implementation, the extent to which
schools faithfully implement the
EWIMS model and the interventions
provided to students identified as at risk
by the EWS tool.
The purpose of the project is to assess
the implementation and impact of
EWIMS, a data tool and process for
implementing a system of data-driven
decision making. Developed by the
National High School Center, EWIMS
provides a means of systematically and
reliably identifying students at risk for
dropping out of high school. The
proposed study is a two-year schoollevel randomized controlled trial (RCT)
to examine the impact of implementing
EWIMS on school processes and student
outcomes.
