its statutory obligations. The Leader, Information Management Case

the Chief Information Officer, publishes that notice containing

    Abstract: This OMB package requests clearance for a set of data 
collection activities to be used in the Impact Evaluation of Charter 
School Strategies that includes surveys of students, their parents, 
principals, and charter school authorizers. This submission represents 
the second in a two-stage clearance process. The first stage resulted 
in a January 2005 approval (OMB 1850-0799) for the evaluation design, 
sampling and analysis plan, and for initial data collection activities 
necessary for random assignment (consent form, baseline form, and 
school records collection). The current submission requests approval 
for three modest enhancements to the design and for the specific 
instruments that were only briefly described in the earlier package.
