Abstract: This request is for a renewal of OMB approval to collect data necessary for the Charter Schools Program (CSP) Grant Award 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) through the Education Data Exchange Network (EDEN). Specifically, under the current data collection, ED collects CSP grant award information from grantees (State agencies and some schools) to create a new database of current CSP-funded charter schools and award amounts. Once complete, ED merges performance information extracted from the EDEN database with the database of CSP-funded charter schools. Together, this data allows ED to monitor CSP grant performance and analyze data related to accountability for academic performance, financial integrity, and program effectiveness.

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: Ed is seeking approval to amend the Charter School Program (CSP) Data Collection Forms (OMB control # 1855-0016) to add one new question and provide clarification on a second question. The current Forms ask CSP grantees (typically SEAs) to report the following information for each sub grant within the State's 36 month project period: 1) the name and contact information for the charter school and LEA; 2) the charter school developer (if different than the charter school) 3) the total amount of funding an applicant received to start a charter school, along with the beginning and end date of the grant project period and budget periods; and 4) other charter school information (e.g., enrollment) as needed. The proposed amendment to the forms would clarify the charter school developer question (#2 above) and ask grantees to provide the charter school's management organization (CMO, EMO or freestanding). A new question would also be added to ask grantees to report the charter authorizing agency. The increase in burden would be one additional question/data element per sub grantee. The number of respondents will remain the same. The total annual hours across all respondents would increase from 110 to 127 hours.
