The U.S. Department of Education (ED)
is proposing new regulations to implement the Migrant Student
Information Exchange (MSIX), a nationwide, electronic records
exchange mechanism mandated under Title I, Part C of the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the No Child left
Behind Act. As a condition of receiving a grant of funds under the
Migrant Education Program (MEP), each State educational agency
(SEA) would be required to collect, maintain, and submit minimum
health and education-related data to MSIX within established
timeframes. The proposed regulations would facilitate timely school
enrollment, placement, and accrual of secondary course credits for
migratory children and help us determine accurate migratory child
counts and meet other MEP reporting requirements. The MEP is
authorized under sections 1301-1309 in Title I, Part C of the ESEA.
MSIX and the minimum data elements (MDEs) are authorized
specifically under section 1308(b) of the ESEA. This collection
replaces the current collection for the MSIX MDEs under OMB No.
1810-0683. The burden hours and costs associated with this data
collection are required to ensure that States implement and utilize
MSIX for interstate migrant student records exchange, which will
then enable the Department to meet the statutory mandate in section
1308(b) of the ESEA to facilitate the electronic exchange of MDEs
by SEAs to address the educational and related needs of migratory
children.
ED recalculated the burden
estimate using more accurate burden estimation methods.
