Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The net amount of the changes from the 2023–24 to the 2025–26 or 2027–28 data collection result in a burden increase from 4.6 burden hours to 6.0 burden hours for the completion of a local educational agency (LEA) survey, and a burden decrease from 21.2 burden hours to 16.9 burden hours for the completion of a school survey. The 2025–26 CRDC and the 2027–28 CRDC content revisions are the result of program change due to agency discretion. Also, the estimated universe of public LEA respondents decreased for the 2025–26 and the 2027–28 CRDC surveys. This was due to a decrease in the number of public LEAs in the U.S. during the 2023−24 school year.
