Affected Public: Individuals or household; State, Local, or Tribal Gov't, SEAs or LEAs. Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: Responses: 1,980. Burden Hours: 435. Abstract: The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), U.S. Department of Education (ED), proposes to employ the Fast Response Survey System (FRSS) to conduct a district survey about dropout prevention services and programs. This survey will provide the first nationally representative data on this topic by capturing a current snapshot of dropout prevention services and programs available within the nation's public school districts. In addition, the survey will cover factors and methods used to identify students at risk of dropping out, mentoring and transition supports used by the district, the entities with which districts work in their dropout prevention efforts, information provided to students who appear highly likely to drop out, follow-up efforts when a student drops out, and information used by the district in determining whether to implement additional dropout prevention efforts district-wide.
