Email Text Inviting Survey Participation

Dear [District REAP Coordinator name]:

Your school district has been selected as a part of a nationally representative sample to participate in the survey portion of the U.S. Department of Education (the Department)’s Study of Experiences and Needs of REAP Grantees conducted by SRI International and Impaq International. The Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP) provides federal financial assistance to rural districts. It consists of two programs: the Small, Rural School Achievement (SRSA) program and the Rural and Low-Income School (RLIS) program. Your participation in this survey is crucial to help the Department understand the uses of the Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP) funds and the district’s technical assistance needs related to REAP.

You have been selected to participate in this survey because your district {received} { is eligible for}¹ a grant under the REAP² program in school year 2014–15. The survey takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. The Department will use the results of this study to better understand the uses of REAP funds and districts’ technical assistance needs related to REAP. Additionally, Congress will use these results to inform reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. [In addition, the study has selected your district to participate in a follow-up interview to the survey that takes approximately one hour.] REAP grantees and subgrantees are required to cooperate with federal studies of their programs under Section 9306(a)(4) of ESEA.

We ask that you complete this survey no later than January 21, 2015.

Among other topics, this survey includes questions about your experience of the eligibility determination process for REAP and how you are using REAP funds in the school year 2014–15. If you are not the best person to respond to questions about the REAP program, please send a message to [email protected] with the name, email address, and phone number of a more appropriate respondent in your district. If your district did not receive REAP funds for school year 2014–15, please call
888-XXX-XXXX. ³

Rural Education Achievement Program

District Coordinator Survey

Welcome to the REAP survey. This survey includes questions about the eligibility determination process for REAP, how your school district uses REAP funds, and your school district’s REAP-related technical assistance needs. Please consult with other staff members in your district as needed to answer these questions.

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is XXXX-XXXX.⁴ The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 30 minutes, including the time to review instructions and complete and review the information collection.⁵

Reporting

Responses to this data collection will be used only for statistical purposes. As part of the study, the research team will share its findings with the U.S. Department of Education and other federal agencies. However, your individual district name will not be used in any published report, and your responses will be combined with information collected from approximately 800 other school districts for reporting.

Confidentiality

Your individual responses to this survey will be confidential. We will not provide information that identifies you or your district to anyone outside the study team, except as required by law. Unique identification numbers will be assigned to individuals and to sites for the data collected. There are no known risks for participating in this study. A publicly available report will be made available in late 2015. Your cooperation in completing this survey will help to make the results of this evaluation comprehensive, reliable, and timely.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the study and would like to talk with someone other than the researchers, you may contact Judy Sheehan, Human Subjects Committee, SRI International, 333 Ravenswood Avenue, Menlo Park, CA 94025, 650-859-2686 and reference case number XXXX-XXXX.

4. REAP Flex

The next set of questions is about your use of REAP Flexibility.

The Rural Education Achievement Program Flexibility provision (REAP Flex) provides SRSA-eligible districts the flexibility to use “applicable funding” (i.e., specific federal Title program funds) to support local activities under an array of federal Title programs in order to assist them in addressing local academic needs more effectively. “Applicable funding” includes all funds allocated by formula to an eligible district under four programs.^* Of these four programs, currently only Title II Part A is funded.

A school district, or LEA, with REAP Flex authority may use all or part of its “applicable funding” for local activities authorized under one or more of the following federal Title programs:

• Title I Part A: Improving the Achievement of Disadvantaged Children

• Title II Part D: Educational Technology State Grants

• Title III: Language Instruction for Limited English Proficient and Immigrant Students

• Title IV Part A: Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities

• Title IV Part B: 21st-Century Community Learning Centers

• Title V Part A: State Grants for Innovative Programs

The REAP Flexibility provision does not provide any additional funding. Rather, it allows districts to use Title II-A funds for local activities authorized under the above federal Title programs.

* The four programs are: (1) Subpart 2 of Part A of Title II (Improving Teacher Quality State Grants); (2) Part D of Title II (Educational Technology State Grants); (3) Part A of Title IV (Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities); and (4) Part A of Title V (State Grants for Innovative Programs).
