EDFacts is a U.S. Department of Education (ED) initiative to collect, analyze, report on and promote the use of
high-quality, pre-kindergarten through grade 12 (pre-K–12) performance data for use in education planning,
policymaking, and management and budget decision making to improve outcomes for students. EDFacts enables
the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) to report on students, schools, staff, services, and education
outcomes at the state, district, and school levels, by centralizing data provided by state education agencies, local
education agencies, and schools. This centralized approach provides ED users with the ability to efficiently
analyze and report on submitted data and has reduced the reporting burden for state and local data producers
through the use of streamlined data collection, analysis, and reporting tools. EDFacts collects information on
behalf of ED grant and program offices for approximately 180 data groups for all 50 states, Washington DC,
Puerto Rico, and seven outlying areas and freely associated states (American Samoa, Federated States of
Micronesia, Guam, Marshall Islands, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Republic of Palau, and the
U.S. Virgin Islands), the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), and the Bureau of Indian Education
(BIE). EDFacts data collections for the 2016-17, 2017-18, and 2018-19 school years, designed to support the
Elementary and Secondary Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) in December,
2015, were approved by OMB in June 2017. This request is to implement a set of technical amendments for SY
2017-18 and 2018-19 to: (1) align the language used in the EDFacts data set to the terminology used in ESEA, as
amended by ESSA; (2) fix technical errors in EDFacts documentation; and (3) assign DG and FS identification
numbers (IDs) to new EDFacts data groups.
