Abstract: This submission requests emergency approval to require States to submit to the Department two written reports: 1) The State’s most recent Ed Tech evaluation report; and 2) A description of the States System of Accountability for Ed Tech funds: a) a description of how the SEA will ensure, for school years (SYs) 2009-2010 and 2010-2011, that LEAs and eligible local entities that receive Ed Tech funds (either competitively or by formula) are meeting their evaluation responsibilities; b)a description of the process and accountability measures that the SEA will use, for SYs 2009-2010 and 2010-2011, to evaluate the effectiveness of Ed Tech-supported activities.

Emergency Justfication: Approval is needed by June 30, 2009 so that the Department can issue relevant program guidance and accountability reporting requirements on July 1, 2009, when the Department issues the Title II, D ARRA grant awards. The Department has had to work under extremely tight timelines to develop program reporting requirements consistent with the unprecedented accountability and transparency ARRA demands. The Department wants to apprise States of the reporting requirements as soon as possible so that States will have sufficient time to comply. Issuing the reporting requirements along with the awards on July 1 gives states approximately 90 calendar days to comply with the requirements.
