This evaluation assesses the
accomplishments of the CSR program in implementing school reform
and thereby improving student achievement. The evaluation also
makes a preliminary assessment of the conditions influencing the
sustainability of reforms once federal CSR funding ends. The
evaluation uses a variety of data sources to understand the complex
interplay of state policies, school districts, educational support,
and CSR school conditions affecting CSR implementation and
outcomes. The major evaluation questions are: (1) To what extend
CSR-supported schools made gains on state assessments.....
There is a program chane of
9,544 burden hours. All but 10 hours of the burden of the current
data collection are complete. The revision of the evaluation adds
1,220 burden hours to the 10 remaining hours from the current
collection. When this total of 1,230 burden hours is taken from the
current OMB inventory of 10,744 burden hours, there is a reduction
of 9,544 burden hours.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
