Part A (Title I) of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the No Child
Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) requires State educational agencies
(SEAs), local educational agencies (LEAs), and schools to collect
and disseminate information to document progress, inform parents
and the public about school, district, and state educational
performance, and provide services to students and teachers to help
at-risk students meet challenging State achievement
standards.

Pub.L. 107 - 110 Part A Name of Law: Elementary and Secondary
Education Act, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of
2001
Reforms undertaken by Local
Educational Agencies (LEA) have outdated many of the activities by
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act as amended by the No
Child Left Behind Act (ESEA). In the absence of ESEA
re-authorization in 2011, the Secretary of Education is providing
flexibility to LEAs to support their important reform efforts.
(Associated flexibility PRA activities are approved on the
emergency basis under control number 1810-0708). Approval of
1810-0581 ends April 30, 2012 and will be submitted to OMB for
approval to collect data under 1810-0581 with burden from
1810-0708-there are no instrument changes to 1810-0581 as 1810-0708
flexibilities burden may be collected via 1810-0581. This change
request is to merge only the burden of 1810-0708 with 1810-0581.
The US Department of Education requests shifting the hours from
1810-0708 to 1810-0581 so that the flexibility can be considered as
part of identifying the information collection activities and
burden hours during the renewal process for this collection. On
conclusion of this change request for 1810-0581, the Department
will submit a discontinue request for 1810-0708 which expires March
2012.
