    Abstract: This is a request for clearance for the field test and 
full scale High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09). The 
HSLS:09 is the most recent installment in the series of NCES' 
nationally representative longitudinal studies of high school students. 
The HSLS:09 will assess students in math and science during the fall of 
their 9th grade year and again in the spring of most participating 
students' 11th grade year. The study will also survey students, their 
parents, teachers, guidance counselors, and school administrators twice 
during the secondary school years and follow students into their 
postsecondary years. The study will focus on how students navigate the 
transition between high school and the postsecondary world; what 
courses, majors (or first job), and careers students decide to pursue, 
when, why, and how.
