Abstract: This information is required by Program Statue under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended under Part B, Subpart 4 section 1251 (h) (1). Each respondent will report on "…how the funding was used and the extent to which the availability of, the access to, and the use of up-to-date school library media resources in the elementary and secondary schools served by the local educational agency was increased." The final report makes a specific request for easily retrieved information on each approved activity, personnel description, and outcomes that can't be derived from any other information collection. Additionally, under section (j) (1) NATIONAL ACTIVITIES the statue requires an independent evaluation of the activities supported by funds and their impact on improved reading skills not later than three (3) years after the date of enactment for ESEA, as amended and biennially thereafter. This information collection is one of three sources of data for the congressional mandated program evaluation.
