The School Pulse Panel is an ongoing study conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), part of
the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), within the United States Department of Education, to collect extensive data on
current and emerging issues concerning students and staff in U.S. public primary, middle, high, and combined-grade
schools. Specifically, the survey will ask school office staff about topics such as staffing, college and career readiness,
school improvement plans, tutoring, summer programs, facilities, learning strategies and recovery, after-school programs,
and world and dual language programs. The SPP has become one of the nation’s main sources of timely and reliable
data on issues concerning the education environment, as reported by principals in U.S. public schools.
The SPP monthly data collection (OMB# 1850-0975 v.2) went through a 60-day public comment period, followed by a 30day public comment period and was formally cleared in July 2023, followed by a change request (OMB# 1850-0975 v.3)
that was cleared in August 2023. The SPP program submits quarterly 30D packages to allow public comment and OMB
review of new monthly items, and a revision to clear basic questionnaires and topic areas for November 2023-January
2024 was cleared in October 2023 (OMB# 1850-0975 v.4).
The purpose of this memo is to request approval for changes to the November 2023-January 2024 SPP questionnaires.
The items that were submitted as a part of the 30-day public comment period (v.4) were undergoing cognitive testing at
the time the package was out for public comment, and the cognitive testing suggesting rewordings and follow-up items
that have been included in this change request. Those changes are shown in detail in the attached change memo. This
change does not change respondent burden or cost to the federal government.
