early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. OMB

extent that public participation in the approval process would defeat 
the purpose of the information collection, violate State or Federal

its statutory obligations. The Acting Leader, Regulatory Information 
Management Services, Office of Management, publishes that notice 
containing proposed information collection requests prior to submission

effectiveness of Success in Sight (SiS) in 52 elementary schools with 
low to moderate student achievement. This study will specifically 
examine the impact of SiS on student achievement and on school 
practices associated with school improvement. The primary data

practices (data-based decision-making, practices associated with 
improved student achievement, shared leadership, and purposeful 
community) and student achievement data. Data collection will occur 
over a two-year period. Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) will be used 
to determine the effects of SiS on school-level student achievement and 
school-level reform practices.
