Abstract:
The School Enrollment Supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS) provides information on public/private elementary school, secondary school, and college enrollment, and on characteristics of private school students and their families, which is used for tracking historical trends, policy planning, and support. This survey is the only source of national data on the age distribution and family characteristics of college students and the only source of demographic data on preprimary school enrollment. As part of the federal government's efforts to collect data and provide timely information to local governments for policymaking decisions, the survey provides national trends in enrollment and progress in school. The Census Bureau requests approval of a Non-Substantive Change to the timing of the data collection, for the Current Population Survey’s (CPS) School Enrollment Supplement. The original submission for data collection was approved on September 26, 2025 (OMB No. 0607- 0464). Refer to the 60-day notice in the Federal Register, (89 FR 104976), published December 26, 2024. The change to the data collection involves the time period in which it will be conducted. The supplement questions were originally planned to be asked along with the October 2025 CPS, however, due to the lapse in federal appropriations from October 1 through November 12, 2025, the Census Bureau was unable to collect the School Enrollment Supplement. This request is in keeping with the Census Bureau’s commitment to foster transparency in its efforts to produce new, relevant and timely data on the impacts of national events—whether social, economic, or health-related. Since no School Enrollment data were collected in October, the Census Bureau requests to ask the questions along with the December CPS, during the 10-day period of December 14 – 23, 2025. Thank you for your consideration. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
