Attention: Education Desk Officer, OMB:
This is in regard to the request for comments on:
Evaluation of the Education for Homeless Children and Youth Program; OMB Control Number: 1875-NEW.
I am a State Coordinator for the EHCY program, and read the survey instructions that are going to Subgrantees of Homeless Education funds in each state. I noticed that the survey is addressed to “Districts” – assuming that a District Liaison is completing the survey as a subgrantee.
Please note that some states, such as Oregon, award some competitive subgrant funds to Consortia of Districts (e.g., districts applying together as a County Consortium). The Consortia Lead may not be a District Liaison, but a program coordinator who is completing the survey on behalf of a number of districts that are under one subgrant. There do not appear to be options for responses from Subgrantees that represent multiple districts.
Thanks for including this comment among those that are due by July 22.
Best,
Dona
