SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Census Bureau plans to request clearance from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for the collection of data concerning the
School Enrollment Supplement to be conducted in conjunction with the
October Current Population Survey (CPS). The Census Bureau and the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) sponsor the basic annual school
enrollment questions, which have been collected annually in the CPS for
over 50 years. The current clearance expires August 31, 2022. This
request is for a revision of the data collection. The Census Bureau
plans to remove seven questions from the data collection that were
added in October 2020, which were designed to understand how the COVID-
19 pandemic was affecting how children received education given
specific circumstances in the spring of 2020.
This survey 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.
II. Method of Collection
The School Enrollment Supplement information will be collected by
both personal visit and telephone interviews in conjunction with the
regular October CPS interviewing. All interviews are conducted using
computer-assisted interviewing.
