2024 Spanish Questionnaires Samples

_{OMB# 1850-0928 v.37}

July 2025

Important changes in how we collect demographic information are reflected in the 2026 instruments that are ready for publication and review. In March 2024, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) announced revisions to Statistical Policy Directive No. 15: Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity (SPD 15) and published the revised SPD15 standard in the Federal Register (89 FR 22182). See Part A.7 of this package to see how NCES plans to incorporate these revisions into NAEP 2026.

Additionally, materials in this Amendment are in compliance with the White House’s Executive Orders “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” (January 20, 2025) and “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing,” (January 20, 2025).

Appendix J-S provides Operational and Pilot Spanish student, teacher, and school survey questionnaires that will be administered in 2026. Summary tables reflect any changes to the items from the 2024 administration. Please note, some of the numbers of the items may be missing or out of order in these printed versions. This will be corrected in the platform view.
