The School Pulse Panel is uniquely structured to be responsive to the needs of stakeholders and policymakers. The 2024-25 monthly surveys will encompass broad content domains, each with a series of measurement items addressing a specific research question. The purpose of this B2 item bank is to serve as a record of previously approved and administered questionnaires from the 2021-2022 SPP and 2023-2024 SPP. Any of these items may be modified and used in one or more months in the 2024-25 collection. This item bank supplements the B1 item bank, which documents items that will be fielded during the 2024-25 collection. Content in B2 is organized by month fielded.

School Pulse Panel Operations Follow-Up Survey
Nonrespondent
The School Pulse Panel (SPP) was a monthly study conducted by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public schools. Our records indicate that your school did not participate in any of the monthly collections between January 2022 and December 2022.
We are still interested in learning about the experiences of those who did not respond to the School Pulse Panel’s monthly data collections in order to improve our methods and increase participation among those who choose to not participate. We appreciate any feedback you can provide at this time.
After the questions on the follow-up survey, we will ask you to answer questions about when and how your school collects information on the race and ethnicity of your students and teachers. The United States Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has proposed changes to the way information on race and ethnicity is collected by the Federal government. Your responses will be used to help NCES better understand schools' ability to collect such data if changes are implemented.
