The Department of Education’s Office
of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) administers multiple
programs administered by State Educational Agencies (SEAs),
including Title I, Sections 1001-1004 (School Improvement); Title
I, Part A (Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Educational
Agencies); Title I, Part B (Enhanced Assessments Grants (EAG), and
Grants for State Assessments and Related Activities); Title II,
Part A (Supporting Effective Instruction); Title III, Part A
(English Language Acquisition, Language Enhancement, and Academic
Achievement). Annual performance reviews – annual phone or on-site
conversations with a purposeful sample of SEA and Local Education
Agency (LEA) program directors and coordinators – help ensure that
an SEA and its LEA are making progress toward improving student
achievement and the quality of instruction for all students and are
ensuring requirements are met through the review of the program and
fiscal requirements to safeguard public funds from waste, fraud,
and abuse. The information shared with OESE also informs the
selection and delivery of technical assistance to SEAs and aligns
structures, processes, and routines so OESE can regularly monitor
the connection between grant administration and intended
outcomes.

This is a new collection. The
increase in burden occurred because OESE has determined that this
information is necessary to ensure basic program requirements are
met, identify areas of improvement for SEA program coordinators and
directors, and focus technical assistance resources where they are
needed the most to provide the best educational outcomes for the
nation’s students and their families.
