OMB Control Number: 1850–0974. Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,080. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,477. Abstract: The data collection described in this submission will assist policymakers in understanding the impact of classification and reclassification policies that govern students’ English learner (EL) status. Specifically, the study examines (1) whether classification and reclassification was implemented more consistently across districts within states after the start of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and (2) whether classification and reclassification at current thresholds helps, harms, or is neutral for ELs’ and former ELs’ instructional opportunities, experiences, achievement, and attainment. This revision request adds district and school surveys to the approved data collection. The surveys will assess how districtlevel policies, practices, and procedures influence the impacts of reclassification on ELs as well as provide valuable descriptive information from districts and schools on local implementation of policies and practices that may affect outcomes for ELs. It will complement an existing data collection (#1850–0974) of student information from state longitudinal data systems (SLDSs). Dated: November 12, 2024.
