members. The study focuses on achievement growth, and its correlates, 
in the high school years; the family and school social context of 
secondary education; and transitions from high school to postsecondary 
education and/or the labor market. Major issues for the postsecondary 
years include postsecondary educational access and choice, and 
persistence and baccalaureate and sub-baccalaureate attainment, as well 
as the work experiences of the non-college-bound, and other markers of 
adult status, such as family formation and civic participation. Data 
collections took place in 2002, 2004, 2006 (two years out of high 
school), and now a final data collection will take place in 2012, when 
most sample members are around 26 years of age. This submission 
requests OMB's approval for batch tracing for the third follow-up 2011 
field test and 2012 full scale respondents.
