Approved as
amended by ED's 9/19/91 memorandum to OMB. In addition, E has
agreed to the following terms: -- Case study data shall not be used
to provide causative or explanato conclusions, since these data are
not generalizable to the universe of effective schools. -- The
final selection of case study sites shall be submitted for OMB
review, along with an explanation of how these sites best meet ED's
sampling criteria. To the maximum extent possible, ED shall base
this selection on preliminary data from the main studies, since the
current LEA probe will provide some subjective and non-uniform
information. -- ED shall ensure that case study sites vary in the
effectiveness by which they increase student achievement through
implementation of an effective schools program. -- ED may include
an "other" category in its questions on race and ethnicity.
However, ED must be able to aggregate this category into t standard
categories. -- If districts do not maintain racial and ethnic data
according to th "separate" format of Directive 15, ED may collect
these data through t "combined" format, but must caveat this
discrepency in analyzing and reporting the information.
