This evaluation assesses the accomplishments of the CSR program in implementing school reform and thereby improving student achievement. The evaluation also makes a preliminary assessment of the conditions influencing the sustainability of reforms once federal CSR funding ends. The evaluation uses a variety of data sources to understand the complex interplay of state policies, school districts, educational support, and CSR school conditions affecting CSR implementation and outcomes. The major evaluation questions are: (1) To what extend CSR-supported schools made gains on state assessments.....
There is a program chane of 9,544 burden hours. All but 10 hours of the burden of the current data collection are complete. The revision of the evaluation adds 1,220 burden hours to the 10 remaining hours from the current collection. When this total of 1,230 burden hours is taken from the current OMB inventory of 10,744 burden hours, there is a reduction of 9,544 burden hours.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
