Title of Collection: Study of Weighted Student Funding and School-Based Systems (Study Instruments). OMB Control Number: 1875–NEW. Type of Review: A new information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 738. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 212. Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine districts that have implemented weighted student funding PO 00000 Frm 00040 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 26081 (WSF) systems. In doing so, the study team will investigate how these systems for funding schools have been implemented, the benefits in terms of enhanced school funding equity and improved resource allocation practices through more equitable distributions of funding to schools and increased principal autonomy, and the challenges each district may have faced in undertaking such a reform. To this end, the study team will conduct site visits to a set of nine case study districts that will involve in-person interviews with district officials and school staff involved in WSF system administration. In addition, the study team will collect and review relevant extant data (budget and audited expenditure files) and administer surveys to a nationally representative sample of principals and school district administrators.
