This request is for an extension of
OMB approval to collect data for the Expanding Opportunity through
Quality Charter Schools Program: Technical Assistance to Support
Monitoring, Evaluation, Data Collection, and Dissemination of Best
Practices formerly titled Charter Schools Program (CSP) Grant
Awards Database. This current data collection is being coordinated
with the EDFacts Initiative to reduce respondent burden and fully
utilize data submitted by States and available to the U.S.
Department of Education (ED). Specifically, under the current data
collection, ED collects CSP grant award information from grantees
(State agencies, charter management organizations, and some
schools) to create a new database of current CSP-funded charter
schools. Together, these data allow ED to monitor CSP grant
performance and analyze data related to accountability for academic
purposes, financial integrity, and program effectiveness.
PL:
Pub.L. 114 - 95 5201-5211 Name of Law: Elementary and Secondary
Act (ESEA) of 1965, amended No Child Left
The new burden estimates are
primarily the result of changes to the number of respondents (there
are currently more CSP grantees than in the past), improvements in
calculating burden estimates due to continued experience and
feedback from grantees, and a decrease in the number of schools
funded by SE and CMO grantees (which is partly a result of changes
in the charter schools landscape across the country). The new
burden is 537 annual hours and 342 responses. There is an
adjustment increase of 401 burden hours and 240 responses
annually.
