SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Evaluation of State 
Implementation of Supportive Policies to Improve Educational 
Experiences and Achievement for K-12 Military Children (SPEAK Military 
Children); OMB Control Number 0704-SPEK.
    Needs and Uses: The purpose of this study is to investigate the 
implementation of four specific initiatives (i.e., Advance Enrollment, 
Military Student Identifier, Purple Star Schools [or similar efforts], 
and the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military 
Children) and other policies intended to support military-connected 
students' (i.e., kindergarten through 12th grade) educational success 
(e.g., academic performance, social-emotional development and well-
being).
    Each of these groups of people may have different perspectives on 
the implementation of the abovementioned four initiatives. Since little 
is known about the implementation or effectiveness of these 
initiatives, understanding different stakeholder's perspectives is 
critical. With a better understanding of how the programs and policies 
are being implemented and stakeholders' perceptions of the programs and 
policies, the Defense-State Liaison Office will be able to make 
informed recommendations for improvements in federal and state policies 
intended to support children in military families.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 168.75.
    Number of Respondents: 225.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 225.
