The Consolidated State Performance Report (CSPR) is the required annual reporting tool for each State, Bureau of Indian Education, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico as authorized under Section 9303 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). The Department uses the information derived from the CSPR to : (1) monitor and report its progress in meeting Strategic Plan goals; (2) assess and report individual program performance, including GPRA performance measures; (3) monitor States' implementation of NCLB and the extent to which States are meeting programs and accountability goals;(4)to identify areas for technical assistance to States and overall program improvement; and (5) to inform other reporting and program evaluation requirements specific to individual programs and including the Secretary's Annual State Report to Congress on No Child Left Behind.
Specific to this submission, which requests the addition of new items to meet statutory and regulatory reporting requirement, Title I monitoring teams and other ED officials will use these data to ensure that SEAs. LEAs, and schools implement science assessment requirements and school improvement activities in accordance with ESEA statute and regulations.
US Code:
20 USC 6301
Name of Law: Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001
US Code: 20 USC 6303 Name of Law: ESEA as amended by 2001 NCLB
PL: Pub.L. 107 - 110 1003 Name of Law: School Improvement
The increase in burden results from the addition of 15 new questions to meet new NCLB data collection requirements for School Improvement Grants (Section 1003(a)and 1003(b))and science assessments(1111(b)(3))implemented in SY 07-08; and (2)substantial revisions to 6 questions required by section 1111(h)(4)(D) and section 3121(b)(1) to more accurately reflect the data requirements in 1111(h)(4)(D) and section 3121(b)(1) for evaluation, and (3) align student performance measures with existing collections.
ED estimates that the new and revised questions will add 20 burden hours to per SEA respondent. While ED does plan to combine or fully eliminate 12 questions, the reduced burden from the reduction in the number of questions will not be fully offset by burden associated with the new or substantially revised questions. The increase in burden hours also reflects the addition of BIE as an agency participating in the CSPR collection, and increases the number of agencies responding from 52 to 53.
