The Institute of Education Sciences, under the Department of Education, is seeking public comments on proposed updates to an information collection request, titled "School Pulse Panel 2024-25 Data Collection." This initiative focuses on gathering data from U.S. public schools on various topics like staffing, readiness for college and careers, and learning strategies. The public is invited to provide feedback by January 13, 2025, to help address issues such as the necessity of the data collection and ways to reduce the burden on respondents. The total estimated annual responses are about 53,955, with an estimated burden of 10,175 hours.
Simple Explanation
The Education Department wants to know what people think about their plan to ask schools questions about things like teachers and student learning. They want people to share ideas by January 13, 2025, and hope to make it easy for schools to answer without taking too much time.
