Title of Collection: Fast Response
Survey System (FRSS) 108: Career and
Technical Education (CTE) Programs in
Public School Districts.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0733.
Type of Review: A new generic
information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 4,785.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 826.
Abstract: This request is to conduct
the Fast Response Survey System
(FRSS) survey #108 on career and
technical education (CTE) programs in
public school districts. The Office of
Career, Technical, and Adult Education
(OCTAE) requested that NCES conduct
this FRSS survey. About 95 percent of
9th grade students in 2009 attended a
school that offered CTE instruction,
either on campus or at a partnering
school; 85 percent of public high school
graduates had completed one or more
occupational CTE courses; and 19
percent were CTE concentrators who
had earned at least three credits in the
same CTE field. Effective, high-quality
CTE programs are aligned with collegeand career-readiness standards as well
as the needs of employers, industry, and
labor, providing students with a
curriculum that combines integrated
PO 00000
Frm 00022

academic and technical content and
strong employability skills, as well as
work-based learning opportunities that
enable students to connect what they
are learning to real-life career scenarios
and choices. The students participating
in effective CTE programs graduate with
industry certifications or licenses and
postsecondary certificates or degrees
that prepare them for in-demand careers
within high-growth industry sectors.
The purpose of the FRSS 108 survey is
to collect nationally representative data
from public school districts about CTE
programs offered by the districts,
whether offered at district facilities or in
a partnering off-site location, such as
area CTE facilities or postsecondary
institutions. The sample will focus on
school districts with high schools
because CTE programs are generally
designed for high school students. The
survey topics will focus on the extent to
which districts provide high-quality
CTE programs and how these programs
are developed, designed, and
implemented.
