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 populate the 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.
