Title: Adopt-a-School Application Form.

Form Numbers: N/A.

Type of Review: New Information Collection.

Background: The Adopt-a-School Program is a Signature Program of the FAA's Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) Aviation and Space Education (AVSED) Program. The program provides 6 aerospace STEM-based lessons to participating schools in the nine FAA regions across the country each year. This form allows schools to contact the FAA and express interest in the Adopt-a-School Program. The program has specific criteria, and collecting this information from interested schools allows the FAA to determine if a school qualifies and take next steps in the school selection process. Information collected will include the name of the school, point of contact information, basic school characteristics, and confirmation of the level of interest and familiarity of the school with the Adopt-a-School Program. This information will then be used to review and qualify schools, initiate ongoing discussions, and determine the selected schools for the following year.

Respondents: 1,000 Educators, Principals or Administrative Staff at interested schools across the country.

Frequency: Annually.

Estimated Average Burden per Response: 15 Minutes.
