Paperwork Reduction Act Submission Supporting Statement



ESEA Flexibility Collection

through EDFacts



FINAL

October 2012



Attachment B-6

overview AND BACKGROUND

This clearance submission is for the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) flexibility data set to be collected through the EDFacts Submission System for school years (SYs) 2011-12 and 2012-13.


These data will only be required for states with approved ESEA flexibility requests impacting SYs 2011-12 and 2012-13. Not all new data groups will be relevant to all states with flexibility. For example, states that did not include special student subgroups in their flexibility requests will not be required to report assessment data by flexibility subgroups.


Please note that only those states that are using flexibility subgroups under their approved flexibility requests will need to submit files that specifically collect performance data for state-defined flexibility subgroups. Those states are also required to continue reporting the related EDFacts files that collect data by ESEA subgroups.


GENERAL NOTES:


  • No student or staff-level data are collected. The data are aggregated at the school, district, or state levels. Although some of the data files may contain small numbers, none of the information is linked to specific students or staff members. In submitting data to ED, state educational agencies (SEAs) and other data suppliers cannot suppress the data in small data cells except as specifically authorized by federal statute.


  • Data groups that are counts of students or staff have specified reporting periods. The reporting period is the period of time for the count. Counts can be either cumulative over a period of time or snapshot of a specific day. The following reporting periods are used for cumulative counts:


  • School year (state) – Any 12-month period defined by the state. The state determines whether summer is included in the preceding or following school year


  • Regular school year – The instructional period not including intersession or summer sessions


  • Testing window – The period when the state administers state-wide academic assessments (or the annual state English language proficiency assessment) as described by the ESEA


  • Metadata are information to explain other data. Like all data collections, the flexibility collection requires metadata. Metadata collected from an SEA aids the analysis and appropriate use of data. The metadata to be collected ranges from information to support data submissions to capturing state policies surrounding data collection. Metadata may be collected through a variety of modes, depending on ED’s information needs and expectations for its use.


This clearance submission proposes one new data category and 23 new data groups for collection. In some cases, the newly proposed flexibility data groups use existing data categories. While these categories are not a part of the clearance under consideration, they are included as an addendum to Attachment B for reference purposes only.



LIST OF EDFACTS CHANGES DUE TO ESEA FLEXIBILITY


Under ESEA Flexibility, a new data category, Flexibility Subgroups, will be collected, as well as 23 new data groups summarized in the following table. Details on the new data category and each of the new data groups are found in the next section.

PROPOSED DATA FOR COLLECTION

This section describes the data proposed for collection.

State-defined Flexibility Subgroups

Some states identified new student subgroups for accountability in their flexibility requests.

Below is the information about the new EDFacts reporting category for flexibility subgroups to be used with some of the data groups on the following pages.


Category Name: Flexibility Subgroups

Steward: OESE

Comments

This category contains permitted values for combined subgroups approved under state ESEA flexibility requests. An individual state would report data only for those specific categories listed within its ESEA flexibility request. Given the individual state specificity of these subgroups, it is not foreseen that any collected data could reliably be used within a “cross-state” analysis. Data would be collected for use in analyzing an individual state’s accountability system. States should report data for flexibility subgroups according to the permitted values that most closely describe the specific subgroups used by the states. It is possible that two subgroups with the same name reported within EDFacts by two separate states may not represent one consistently defined subgroup. This may require the maintenance of appropriate metadata on how each SEA uses the permitted values in this category.

Definition

The state-specific subgroups used under ESEA flexibility.

Permitted Values



  • Bottom 25 percent of students

  • Bottom 30 percent of students

  • Top 25 percent of students

  • Top 30 percent of students

  • Top 75 percent of students

  • High needs students (any combination of English learners, students with disabilities, and/or economically disadvantaged)

  • Historically disadvantaged racial/ethnic minority students (any combination of African American, Hispanic, and/or Native American)

  • High needs students including historically disadvantaged racial/ethnic minority students (any combination of English learners, students with disabilities, economically disadvantaged, African American, Hispanic, and/or Native American)

  • Racial/ethnic minority students (any combination of all racial/ethnic minority students in a state)

  • Non-proficient students
