Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 237 / Thursday, December 10, 2015 / Notices
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 3,666.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 867.
Abstract: The foundation of this
evaluation is a randomized control trial
(RCT) comparing outcomes of eligible
applicants (students and their parents)
assigned by lottery to receive or not
receive a scholarship. This design is
consistent with the requirement for a
rigorous evaluation as well as the need
to fairly allocate the scholarships if the
program is oversubscribed. Because the
law also specified other kinds of
comparisons and analyses, the planned
evaluation study includes both
quantitative and qualitative
components.
In order for the evaluation to have
sufficient statistical power to detect
policy relevant impacts, the sample
consists of 1,771 eligible program
applicants in spring 2012 (cohort 1;
n=536), spring 2013 (cohort 2; n=718),
and in spring 2014 (cohort 3, n=517.
This is an extension of an approved
information collection. The extension is
requested to cover follow up data
collection for cohort 2 as well as the
addition of cohort 3 needed to obtain
the sample size needed for the
evaluation. There are no changes to the
study design, data collection plans and
instruments from what is approved by
OMB in the current collection.
Evaluation data will be collected for
the three cohorts of program applicants
from a variety of sources listed below.
Each cohort will have baseline data as
well as three years of follow up (postlottery) data collection; 2013–2015 for
cohort 1, 2014–2016 for cohort 2, and
2015–2017 for cohort 3. In addition to
estimating program impact, we will use
this experimental study to conducted
research about interim outcomes.
Data sources include:
—Student assessments: The Terra Nova
assessment will be administered each
spring following the lotteries for 3
years (spring 2013–2015 for the 2012
cohort, spring 2014–2016 for the 2013
cohort, and spring 2015–2017 for the
2014 cohort). The follow up
assessments will be administered in
students’ school and will provide the
primary outcome measure for the
impact evaluation. School records
Administrative records will be
collected from DCPS, the District of
Columbia Public Charter School
Board and participating private
schools in the fall of each year to
obtain data on prior year attendance,
persistence, disciplinary actions, and

grades for members of the treatment
and control groups.
—Parent surveys: Annual surveys of
evaluation sample members’ parents
in each follow up year. These surveys
will examine such issues as reasons
for continued participation or
withdrawal, involvement in school,
satisfaction with school choices, and
perceptions of school safety,
leadership, and offerings. The survey
will be mixed mode. (Web with phone
or paper follow up).
Student surveys: The surveys will be
administered to each evaluation sample
student in grades four and above in each
of the follow up years at the same time
(and place) as the student assessments.
—Principal surveys: Surveys to be
administered to principals in the DC
traditional public school, charter
school, and private school systems in
2013–2017. Data from principals of
students in the treatment and control
groups will provide information about
school organization and offerings for
descriptive analyses of students’
school environments and for use as
mediators in the impact analysis. The
web-based principal surveys will also
be used to examine how aware public
and private schools are of the DC
Opportunity Scholarship Program and
whether they are making any changes
in response to it.
