in Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences during the school year, 
(3) sustainability practices at schools, and (4) LEA needs for 
improving environmental literacy education programming. LEAs (generally 
school districts, in some cases charter school administration) are 
asked to complete the survey on the status of their LEA on a set of key 
indicators for the four areas listed above. One individual from each 
LEA is asked to complete this survey once every two years.
    Affected Public: State, local or tribal government.
