Title of Collection: Evaluating the DC Opportunity Scholarship Program After the 2017 Reauthorization. OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW. Type of Review: A new information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; State, Local, and Tribal Governments; Individuals and Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 842. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 303. Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education (ED)’s Institute of Education Sciences (IES) requests clearance for data collection activities to support a congressionally mandated study of the District of Columbia (DC) Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP). Collecting information about the OSP is critical given ED’s interest in private school choice as a way to improve students’ educational outcomes and Congress’s focus on the program. Proposed legislation supports both expanding the OSP to serve more students in DC and new tax credits that would make up to $5 billion available to fund similar programs nationwide. The importance of the OSP to Congress is reflected in its requirement that IES conduct a third evaluation of the program, following those completed in 2011 and 2019. The study will result in a report on the implementation of the OSP, including identification of challenges encountered by OSP-eligible applicants, participating schools, and the program operator; and potential program or policy changes to help address these challenges. A subsequent issue brief will focus on challenges related to families’ ongoing participation in the OSP, since about 20% of students stop using scholarships after one year of participation. The study will also use the collected data to disseminate up to three issue policy PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 12433 briefs. This request covers administrative data as well as surveys of the OSP program operator, administrators of participating and nonparticipating OSP schools, OSP applicants, and OSP users. Also included is a request for classroom observations in OSP-participating schools. Dated: February 25, 2021.
