Type of Review: No material or nonsubstantive change to a currently

Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 15,593.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 10,967.
Abstract: The ED School Climate
Surveys (EDSCLS) are a suite of survey
instruments being developed for
schools, districts, and states by the U.S.
Department of Education’s (ED)
National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES). This national effort extends
current activities that measure school
climate, including the state-level efforts
of the Safe and Supportive Schools (S3)
grantees, which were awarded funds in
2010 by the ED’s Office of Safe and
Healthy Students (OSHS) to improve
school climate. Through the EDSCLS,
schools nationwide will have access to
survey instruments and a survey
platform that will allow for the
collection and reporting of school
climate data across stakeholders at the
local level. The surveys can be used to
produce school-, district-, and statelevel scores on various indicators of
school climate from the perspectives of
students, teachers, noninstructional
school staff and principals, and parents
and guardians. The 2017 national
EDSCLS benchmark study data
collection from a nationally
representative sample of schools across
the United States to create a national
comparison point for users of EDSCLS
was last approved in May 2016 (OMB#
1850–0923 v.4) with revisions to scope
and timeline approved in July and
September 2016 (OMB# 1850–0923 v.5–
6). Data were to be collected from a
nationally representative sample of 500
schools serving students in grades 5–12
to produce national school climate
scores on the various topics covered by
EDSCLS. The national statistics were to
be released in the updated EDSCLS
platform to provide a basis for
comparison between data collected by
schools and school systems and the
national school climate. Because, to date
the study’s projected overall
unweighted participation rate is far
below the 50% response rate
recommended by NCES Statistical
Standards, NCES is requesting to cancel
any further recruitment and the EDSCLS
National Benchmark Study 2017 as soon
as possible. NCES will still offer to
conduct the EDSCLS survey in the
schools that opted to participate in a
universe sample of all of their school’s
eligible respondents.
