OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 12/20/1999
	Date Received in OIRA: 12/02/1999
Terms of Clearance: This collection is approved as an addition to OMB# 1875-0174 on the following conditions: OMB approves this package on the condition that the results will not be generalized to MSAP programs other than those studied in the case studies. ED agrees that the value of the case studies is to provide qualitative and non-generalizable explanatory information on MSAP program characteristics and outcomes that complement the results obtained through the larger study. Findings from the case studies will not provide statistical results that are generalizable beyond the sites selected for the case studies. Therefore, ED agrees that the findings of case studies are not sufficient to draw policy conclusions for MSAP programs as a whole In addition, the results of the student achievement portion of the case-study analyses and the results of the larger study (including the rest of the case-study data) will be reported separately in the manner described in the study protocol on pages 9 and 10. The purpose of this collection of student achievement data is to develop explanatory hypotheses on program outcomes, which can be tested in future, statistically generalizable studies. Ed will send draft copies of the volumes to OMB at least 10 working days prior to their finalization and distribution. Finally, the limitations of the case study approach, as noted in OMB's terms of clearance, must be clearly and prominently stated in any reporting of these results by ED.

Abstract: This package is to request clearance for an evaluation of the Magnet Schools Assistance Program (MSAP). The purpose of the evaluation is to provide information to ED and Congress about the success of the MSAP in meeting its statutory goals. The evaluation is using information reported in MSAP applications and performance indicators and gathering new data from all 57 MSAP projects funded in 1998. A particular emphasis of the evaluation is the projects' progress in improving student achievement and achieving desegregation.
