Due to the pandemic, BIE schools have
had to convert to distance learning or hybrid in-person/distance
learning approaches. To obtain an understanding of how well these
approaches have served the students and families, BIE is requesting
an emergency, one-time collection to collect from families of
students at BIE schools information on their experiences with these
approaches over the past 2020-2021 school year. This survey is
needed to help BIE shape whether and how to best provide distance
learning and hybrid approaches in the future.
BIE needs to obtain
information on how distance learning and hybrid in-person/distance
learning approaches have worked for families of students of
BIE-operated schools over the past year given that the pandemic
forced BIE-operated schools to adopt these approaches on short
order. This request is an emergency request because BIE needs this
information to plan for the 2021-2022 school year, which in some
schools starts as early as July.

The burden increase is due to a
program change necessary to plan for future (2021-2022 school year)
distance and hybrid distance/in-person learning approaches based on
the unanticipated adoption of these approaches over the 2020-2021
school year.
