Title of Collection: School Pulse Panel
2024–25 Data Collection Second Quarter
Revision.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0969.
Type of Review: A 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 is
conducted by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES), part of the
Institute of Education Sciences (IES),
within the United States Department of
Education. Initially, the purpose of the
study was to collect extensive real-time
data on issues brought to light by the
COVID–19 pandemic on students and
staff, as well as other important
education-related issues that could
inform data-driven policy decisions, in
U.S. public primary, middle, high, and
combined-grade schools and districts.
Specifically, this was accomplished by
collecting data on, among other things,
the percentage of the student body
starting the school year behind grade
level, the types of learning recovery
strategies being implemented and the
perceived effectiveness of those
strategies, classroom behavioral
concerns, mental health services
provided, and staffing issues. NCES was
able to capture each of these pieces in
an expedited fashion and report out
findings in a matter of weeks, providing
rich information to help tell the full
story of what students, staff, and
administrators were battling on a daily
basis. The success of the quickturnaround nature of the SPP was a
clear indication of the immense value of
having a real-time data collection
vehicle readily available to capture
content on prominent events occurring
in the school environment. Therefore,
stakeholders and ED leadership have
asked NCES to continue this type of
data collection methodology for the
2023–24 school year and beyond with
content extending beyond COVID–19
pandemic impacts on the education
environment.
The preliminary activities for the
2024–25 data collection was formally
cleared in January 2024 (OMB# 1850–
0969 v.12) and the SPP monthly data
collection package was formally cleared
in June 2024 (OMB# 1850–0969 v.13). A
change request (v.14) was cleared in

June 2024 to make changes to the 2024–
25 preliminary activities package in
order to modify the July 2024
communication materials and screener
survey. A change request (v.15) was
cleared in August 2024 to make changes
to the August 2024, September 2024,
and October 2024 instruments, informed
by cognitive testing results with school
staff. The new revision (v.16) is focused
on a 30-day public comment period on
new items (within the scope of the
research domains previously
established) to be collected on the
November 2024, December 2024, and
January 2025 instruments, as well as
planned items for the rest of the study
year, through June 2025. These items are
considered very close to final and will
go through minimal testing with school
personnel to examine any
comprehension concerns with item
wording. This testing will occur
simultaneously with when the package
is out for the 30-day public comment
period. Feedback from this testing, as
well as additional input from SPP
stakeholders, will result in
modifications and additions that will be
reflected in future change requests.
