Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 770. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 872. Abstract: The second round of data collection for the Implementation of Title I/II–A Program Initiatives study will continue to examine the implementation of policies promoted through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) at the state and district levels, in four core areas: School accountability and support for lowperforming schools, improving teacher and leader effectiveness, state content standards, and assessments. The first round of data collection for this study was conducted in Spring and Summer 2014. The purpose of this follow-up data collection is to provide policy makers with detailed information on the core policies promoted by Title I and Title II–A being implemented at the state and district levels, and the resources and supports they provide to schools and teachers. The timing of the data collection is critical to provide early information on the implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) in the 2017–18 school year. This study will rely on information collected from existing sources, for which there are no respondents or burden, and on a set of revised state and district surveys based on the 2014 data collection in order to address the study’s research questions. Extant data sources include (a) the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and (b) EDFacts data. The revised surveys of states and school districts will begin in March 2018. All respondents will have the opportunity to complete an electronic (e.g., web-based) survey (or paper survey, if preferred). The survey respondents are described briefly below: State Surveys: The state survey will be sent to the chief state school officer in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The state surveys will be administered using an electronic instrument divided into modules corresponding to the four core areas. School District Surveys. The school district survey will be sent to school superintendents from the same nationally representative sample of 570 E:\FR\FM\09FEN1.SGM 09FEN1
