Short Statement: The total burden estimate for the 2021 SCLEA has been reduced by 267 hours compared to the 2011 SCLEA. The 2021 SCLEA utilizes a single survey instrument compared to the previous long and short form design used in the last SCLEA wave. Almost half of the 2011 SCLEA agencies (46%) served larger campuses, which meant they received the long form with twice the estimated burden as agencies serving smaller campuses and receiving the short form. The 2021 SCLEA used the 2011 long form as a starting point and the expert panel served to update and prioritize survey items with respondent burden in mind. The burden estimate is based on the average time reported for survey completion during cognitive interviews.
