Title of Collection: School Pulse Panel
2024–25 Data Collection.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0969.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 53,955.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 10,175.
Abstract: The School Pulse Panel
(SPP) is a data collection that was
originally designed to collect voluntary
responses from a nationally
representative sample of public schools
to better understand how schools,
students, and educators were
responding to the ongoing stressors of
the coronavirus pandemic. Due to the
immediate need to collect information
from schools during the pandemic to
satisfy the requirement of Executive
Order 14000, an emergency clearance
was issued to develop and field the first
several monthly collections of the SPP
in 2021 and a full review of the SPP data
collection was performed under the
traditional clearance review process in
2022 (OMB#1850–0969). SPPs
innovative design and timely
dissemination of findings have been
used and cited frequently among
Department of Education senior
leadership, the White House Domestic
Policy Council, the USDAs Food and
Nutrition Service, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention,
Congressional deliberations, and the
media. The ongoing, growing interest by
stakeholders resulted in the request for
dedicated funding to create an
established NCES quick-turnaround
data collection vehicle to become a
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4703

mainstay for NCES. Funding for a
mainstay collection was approved in
late 2022, and NCES conducted a new
collection during the 2023–24 school
year. The purpose of this request is for
a full review of the 2024–25 SPP data
collection under the traditional
clearance review process.
For the 2024–25 school year, the
survey will ask school staff about a wide
range of topics, including, but not
limited to, staffing, learning recovery,
tutoring, usage of federal funds,
facilities, transportation, school
environment issues, and overall
principal and staff experiences, in
addition to repeating items from the
previous collections. It is planned that
some new content will be rotated in
(and some rotated out) monthly. This
package includes details regarding the
methodology and operations, as well as
potential content areas and an item bank
of potential items that can be asked any
month.
The School Pulse Panel study is one
of the few reliable, nationally
representative, quick-turnaround
studies that produces data on U.S.
public schools. The sample design for
the 2024–25 collection will roughly be
the same as the 2023–24 collection, with
4,000 public elementary, middle, high,
and combined-grade schools in an
initial sample and 4,000 public
elementary, middle, high, and
combined-grade schools in a reserve
sample. These schools will be selected
via a random stratified sampling
approach.
This submission has undergone a 60day public comment period and is now
submitted for an additional 30-day
public comment period. We have made
revisions to all documents that are part
of this request. We have added
instruments for the August, September,
and October 2024 surveys (Appendix
C1) and split the Item Bank into two
parts; Appendix B1 will be an item bank
for the current administration SPP
2024–2025, while Appendix B2
contains all questionnaires from
previous administrations, including all
items that may be revived in future
months of SPP 2024–25. Items in
Appendix C1 are currently being tested
and are considered draft until the
testing is complete; final items will be
submitted to OMB through a change
request. Subsequent quarterly
instruments will also be posted for 30day comment in the months
immediately preceding their
administration, potentially followed by
change requests to allow for small
changes in items as deemed necessary
by cognitive testing.

Title of Collection: Application for
Flexibility for Equitable Per-pupil
Funding.
OMB Control Number: 1810–0734.
Type of Review: An extension without

Respondents/Affected Public: State,

Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 10.
Total Estimated Number of Annual

Abstract: This is a request to extend
an existing information collection for
the Application for Flexibility for
Equitable Per-pupil Funding, the
instrument through which local
educational agencies (LEAs) apply for
flexibility to consolidate eligible Federal
funds and State and local education
funding based on weighted per-pupil
allocations for low-income and
otherwise disadvantaged students. This
program allows LEAs to consolidate
funds under the following Federal
education programs: Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965
(ESEA); Title I, Part A Improving Basic
Programs Operated by Local
Educational Agencies; Title I, Part C
Education of Migratory Children; Title I,
Part D, Subpart 2 Local Prevention and
Intervention Programs for Children and
Youth Who Are Neglected, Delinquent,
or At-Risk; Title II Preparing, Training,
and Recruiting High-quality Teachers,
Principals, or Other School Leaders;
Title III Language Instruction for English
Learners and Immigrant Students; Title
IV, Part A Student Support and
Academic Enrichment Grants; Title VI,
Part B Rural Education Initiative. On
December 10, 2015, the programs above
were reauthorized by the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act of 1965
(ESEA), as amended by the Every
Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The
Flexibility for Equitable Per-pupil
Funding under section 1501 of the
ESEA allows the U.S. Department of
Education (Department) to offer an LEA
the opportunity to consolidate funds
under the above-listed programs to
support the LEA in creating a single
school funding system based on
weighted per-pupil allocations for lowincome and otherwise disadvantaged
