The Principal Follow-up Survey (PFS) was sent in 2008-09 to all schools whose principals responded to the 2007-08 SASS Principal Questionnaire. The Public Principal Status Form was sent to traditional public, public charter, and Bureau of Indian Education-funded schools whose principal had completed an interview in the 2007-08 SASS. The Private School Head/Principal Status Form was sent to all private schools whose principal had completed an interview in the 2007-08 SASS. There is one additional response category that was asked only in nonresponse follow-up by telephone, and that version appears in the PFS Restricted-Use Documentation report. The additional category allows the school to report a former principal’s status as having departed, but with unknown mover or leaver current-year status.
The Principal Follow-up Survey collected data on: occupational status in the 2008-09 for the SASS principal and a confirmation of the principal’s name (not reported on the data file).
