Short Statement: This evaluation's information collection was originally approved in 2018 (OMB 1850-0942) and included several activities (principal interviews, a teacher survey, district administrative records (e.g., teacher retention, student attendance/test scores)). Most of these activities are complete. About 100 schools from 12 districts across the nation were initially recruited for the evaluation, with half agreeing to implement departmentalization for two years while the others maintain self-contained instruction. Comparing the data between departmentalized and self-contained study schools will provide policy-relevant evidence on departmentalization as a potential school improvement strategy. However, due to delays and uncertainty from the coronavirus pandemic, it is infeasible to finish collecting the district data on students and teachers by the OMB expiration date. This package requests an extension to the original expiration date to finish collecting just that district data.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $1,777,163
