Has anyone else received the below email?  One of my principals received
this and forwarded to me for confirmation it is legitimate.

Thoughts?

Dear PRINCIPAL/ADMINISTRATOR of TRIPP MIDDLE SCHOOL:

The National Center for Education Statistics, part of the U.S. Department
of Education's Institute of Education Sciences, is asking you to
participate in the 2024-25 School Pulse Panel (SPP) survey. The 2024-25 SPP
is a unique opportunity to provide your school's perspective directly to
the Department on a range of high-priority, education-related topics on a
monthly basis. Each month, starting in August 2024 and ending in June 2025,
your school will receive an invitation to complete a survey that will take
about 30 minutes to complete. To thank you for your time and effort in
completing the survey, your school will receive $200 for each completed
monthly survey. *Your school can receive up to $2,200 over the course of
the 2024-25 school year by participating.*

To prepare for the start of the SPP on Tuesday, August 13, 2024, we are
asking you to confirm the contact information we have on file for your
school for the 2024-25 school year. Confirmation will take 5 minutes or
less to complete. *Please verify this information for your school by
Friday, July 26, 2024 by visiting the following link and entering the User
ID listed below.* You may also call 1-844-868-3661 to provide this
information.

The SPP collects data monthly on a wide range of education-related topics
that directly inform federal policy and funding decisions by program
offices in the Department of Education, the White House, other federal
agencies, and Congress. Through your participation, the 2024-25 SPP will
continue to inform key federal policy decisions. Some highlights from past
months include:

   - In December 2023, 31 percent of public schools reported that one or
   more *non-permanent (portable) buildings were in use at their school.*
   - In January 2024, 11 percent of public schools reported having *sworn
   law enforcement officers present at their school at least once a week.*

Prior participants said that participation was easy and came with many
benefits. Ninety-eight percent of schools that participated in the 2021-22
SPP said they felt the time necessary to complete each monthly survey was
reasonable. Three quarters reported that the impact on policy was an
important reason they participated.

To learn more about the 2024-25 SPP, visit www.census.gov/schoolpulse. If
you have questions or need assistance, you may also call 1-844-868-3661 or
email addp.school.pulse.panel at census.gov. The Census Bureau is collecting
the data on behalf of the National Center for Education Statistics. We look
forward to your participation in the 2024-25 School Pulse Panel!


Sincerely,

Peggy G. Carr, Ph.D.
