SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Description: The goal of the HTYPE Demonstration Grant Program is 
to support local educational agencies (LEA) to partner with a nonprofit 
or Non-Governmental Organization to build the capacity of schools to 
provide skills-based human trafficking prevention education for 
educators, other staff, and students, and to establish a Human 
Trafficking School Safety Protocol (HTSSP) that addresses the safety, 
security, and well-being of staff and students. Eight HTYPE 
Demonstration Program project grants were awarded in September 2020, 
with a period of performance of 36 months.
    The purpose of the proposed information collection is to 
investigate and document how HTYPE projects approach and accomplish the 
goals of the HTYPE Demonstration Grant Program, inform ACF's efforts to 
support human trafficking prevention education in schools, and inform 
future evaluation efforts.
    The proposed information collection activities include:
    (1) One-time, semi-structured interviews or focus groups with 
trained LEA staff and implementers at select schools from each grant 
recipient site. Interviews/focus groups will include questions focused 
on implementation models, participant and implementer engagement, and 
implementation facilitators and barriers.
    (2) One-time, semi-structured interviews with school staff related 
to the process and implementation of the HTSSP at select schools from 
each grant recipient site.
    (3) One-time web survey with school administrators, which will 
include questions focused on school context and engagement, training 
mandates, implementation models, and implementation facilitators and 
barriers.
    (4) One-time web survey with school staff tasked with implementing 
the HTYPE curriculum, which will include questions focused on educator 
training, student curriculum implementation models and quality, 
participant and implementer engagement, and implementation facilitators 
and barriers.
    Respondents: LEA staff who have been involved in the HTYPE 
demonstration programs, including school leadership/administrators, 
curriculum implementers, and staff who have received human trafficking 
training.
