free or tuition-paying and space-required or space-available basis).

class and transportation schedules; record attendance, absence and
withdrawal; record and monitor student progress, grades, course and
grade credits, educational services and placement, activities, awards,
special interest and accomplishments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
The primary objective of the information collection is to determine
that DoDEA has all the information it requires to make available a
quality education, from prekindergarten through grade 12, for the
eligible dependents of the Department of Defense (DoD) military and
civilian personnel on official assignments. The DoDEA Form 600 secures
data about each sponsor who enrolls a child in a DoDEA school to
determine the child's eligibility for enrollment. Eligibility for
enrollment depends on whether the sponsor is a member of the Armed
Forces or a civilian employee of the DoD, and which component thereof
(Armed Forces or DoD) he or she is a member; or is an employee of
another Federal Agency; or is a DoD contractor; or whether the sponsor
is a U.S. citizen or a foreign national; and whether the sponsor is
assigned overseas or to an military installation in the U.S.
Eligibility also depends on whether the student is a dependent of a
member of the Armed Forces or of the Federal Government who is
authorized Federally funded transportation to an overseas assignment,
or is authorized residence on a domestic U.S. military installation.
The DoDEA Form 600 also secures information about each enrolled student
to ensure that DoDEA makes available the appropriate classrooms,
staffing, and supportive services. The data collected on the DoDEA Form
600, ``DoDEA Student Registration,'' is covered by the DoDEA System of
Records Notice DoDEA 26 available at: http://privacy.defense.gov/notices/osd/DODEA26.shtml, ``Department of Defense Education Activity
Dependent Children's School Program Files.'' The paper forms and
electronic data systems containing the sponsor and dependent personally
identifying information are secured in accordance with the requirements
of Federal law and implementing DoD regulations.
