the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be 
processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden 
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the 
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, 
including through the use of information technology. Please note that 
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered 
public records.

    OMB Control Number: 1850-0761.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.

    Abstract: The School Survey on Crime and Safety (SSOCS) is a 
nationally representative survey of elementary and secondary school 
principals that serves as the primary source of school-level data on 
crime and safety in public schools. SSOCS is the only recurring federal 
survey collecting detailed information on the incidence, frequency, 
seriousness, and nature of violence affecting students and school 
personnel from the school's perspective. Data are also collected on 
frequency and types of disciplinary actions taken for select offenses; 
perceptions of other disciplinary problems, such as bullying, verbal 
abuse and disorder in the classroom; the presence and role of school 
security staff; parent and community involvement; staff training; 
mental health services available to students; and, school policies and 
programs concerning crime and safety. Prior administrations of SSOCS 
were conducted in 2000, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, and 2016. This request 
is to conduct the 2018 and 2020 administrations of SSOCS.
