Affected Public: Public Schools.

Abstract: This proposed survey will be the eighth in an annual series of surveys tracking access to the Internet and other advanced telecommunications in public schools and classrooms. The National Center for Education Statistics has conducted a similar survey since 1994 using the Fast Response Survey System in order to monitor changes in this rapidly changing area. For example, school access to the Internet has increased from 35 percent in 1994 to 99 percent in 2001. Other topics to be covered include types of connections used by the school for connecting to the Internet, what staff provide software and hardware support in the school, and technologies and procedures used to prevent student access to inappropriate material on the Internet. The survey will go to a nationally representative stratified sample of 1,200 schools.
