    Description: The Department of Labor (DOL) provides grants to seven 
cities to start alternative schools for at-risk youth based on the 
model of High School Redirection in Brooklyn. DOL has implemented a 
random assignment evaluation in three of the schools in the 
demonstration. DOL has previously obtained Office of Management and 
Budget approval to conduct follow-up interviewed for two of the schools 
in the evaluation, with the idea that it would subsequently come back 
to request approval for surveys for other sites in the evaluation. DOL 
is now seeking to do just that--to obtain approval for a follow-up 
survey and school records data collection at the Cincinnati school.
