The Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) is an in-depth, nationally representative survey of first through twelfth grade public and private school teachers, principals, schools, library media centers, and school districts. For public school districts, principals, schools, teachers and school libraries, the survey estimates are state-representative. For private school principals, schools, and teachers, the survey estimates are representative of private school types. There are two additional components within SASS’s 4-year data collection cycle: the Teacher Follow-up Survey (TFS) and the Principal Follow-up Survey (PFS), which are conducted a year after the SASS main collection. SASS respondents include public and private school principals, teachers, and school and school district staff. Topics covered include characteristics of teachers, principals, schools, school libraries, teacher training opportunities, retention, retirement, hiring, and shortages. This submission for SASS 2011/12 requests OMB approval for preliminary field activities to take place prior to data collection in the fall of 2011, including (a) submitting SASS research applications to special districts that require prior research approval before their schools and a coordinator can be recruited for the study; (b) conducting a calling operation to verify whether a subset of districts are one-school districts and will require receiving a combined school- and district-level questionnaire; (c) contacting all of the remaining districts, asking whether they are willing to provide a Teacher Listing Form at a later time and to request email addresses for sampled school principals; and (d) mailing of a pre-contact letter to sample schools to verify the mailing address of the school and to notify the school about the upcoming data collection.

This is a reinstatement of hours and therefore, shows a program change (increase in hours). Note that this clearance request covers the preliminary field activities planned for SASS 2011/12. Although the reinstatement is a program change, there is a decrease in hours from the previous collection since only 886 hours are requested to complete the preliminary field activities for the SASS 2011/12 cycle. The estimated burden of the SASS 2011/12 full scale collection will increase the requested hours when the full scale package is approved in 2011.
