Title of Collection: ED School Climate Surveys (EDSCLS) National Benchmark Study 2017 Partial Cancellation Change Request. OMB Control Number: 1850–0923. sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:52 Nov 21, 2016 Jkt 241001 Type of Review: No material or nonsubstantive change to a currently approved collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 15,593. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 10,967. Abstract: The ED School Climate Surveys (EDSCLS) are a suite of survey instruments being developed for schools, districts, and states by the U.S. Department of Education’s (ED) National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). This national effort extends current activities that measure school climate, including the state-level efforts of the Safe and Supportive Schools (S3) grantees, which were awarded funds in 2010 by the ED’s Office of Safe and Healthy Students (OSHS) to improve school climate. Through the EDSCLS, schools nationwide will have access to survey instruments and a survey platform that will allow for the collection and reporting of school climate data across stakeholders at the local level. The surveys can be used to produce school-, district-, and statelevel scores on various indicators of school climate from the perspectives of students, teachers, noninstructional school staff and principals, and parents and guardians. The 2017 national EDSCLS benchmark study data collection from a nationally representative sample of schools across the United States to create a national comparison point for users of EDSCLS was last approved in May 2016 (OMB# 1850–0923 v.4) with revisions to scope and timeline approved in July and September 2016 (OMB# 1850–0923 v.5– 6). Data were to be collected from a nationally representative sample of 500 schools serving students in grades 5–12 to produce national school climate scores on the various topics covered by EDSCLS. The national statistics were to be released in the updated EDSCLS platform to provide a basis for comparison between data collected by schools and school systems and the national school climate. Because, to date the study’s projected overall unweighted participation rate is far below the 50% response rate recommended by NCES Statistical Standards, NCES is requesting to cancel any further recruitment and the EDSCLS National Benchmark Study 2017 as soon as possible. NCES will still offer to conduct the EDSCLS survey in the schools that opted to participate in a universe sample of all of their school’s eligible respondents.
