The Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS), sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is an integrated sample survey of public and private schools, school districts, principals, teachers, and public school libraries. SASS data, which are collected every four years, inform decision makers and provides researchers with a wealth of relevant data on the nation’s elementary and secondary schools.

AIR provides support for all aspects of SASS, including: developing questionnaires, assisting with sample design, writing code for data editing and data imputation, assisting with bias analyses of the data, providing disclosure review analyses, helping to define the data files, providing a quality review of data files, producing data products, survey documentation, and reports, providing training for data users, developing incentives and informational materials, and providing quick turnaround analysis upon request.
