The School Pulse Panel (SPP) is a monthly data collection originally designed to collect voluntary responses from a
nationally representative sample of public schools to better understand how schools, students, and educators are
responding to the ongoing stressors of the coronavirus pandemic, along with other priority items for the White House,
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Department of Education program offices. This collection allows
NCES to comply with the January 21, 2021 EO 14000 Executive Order on Supporting the Reopening and Continuing
Operation of Schools and Early Childhood Education Providers. The SPP study is extremely important particularly
now that COVID-19 has not waned, and the pulse model is one that the agency will need after the pandemic
subsides for other quick-turnaround data needs. It is one of the nation’s few sources of reliable data on a wealth of
information focused on school reopening efforts, virus spread mitigation strategies, services offered for students and
staff, and technology use, as reported by school district staff and principals in U.S. public schools. Initially cleared as
an emergency (OMB# 1850-0963), the SPP monthly data collection (OMB #1850-0969) was formally cleared in April
2022, with change requests (OMB# 1850-0969 v.2-3) clearing the May and June 2022 Questionnaires in April and
May, respectively, and a revision (complete with public comment period) containing projected questionnaire items for
August and September 2022 was cleared in July 2022.
The purpose of this change request is to outline modifications to previously approved items and to add new items
(within the scope of research domains previously established) for the August and September instruments.
Modifications to these items reflect feedback from minimal cognitive testing with school personnel that examined any
comprehension concerns with item wording. The costs to the government have not changed as a result of this
amendment, nor has the projected respondent burden.
