Abstract: The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as reauthorized by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA), provides funds to States to prepare, train, and recruit high-quality teachers, principals, and other school leaders. These funds are provided to districts through Title II, Part A (Supporting Effective Instruction Grants). The purpose of these surveys is to provide the U.S. Department of Education with a better understanding of how State Educational Agencies (SEAs) utilize these funds. This survey also collects data on teacher, principal, and other school leader effectiveness and retention for States to meet new reporting requirements. Similar data have been collected under the Survey on the Use of Funds Under Title II, Part A prior to reauthorization of ESEA. This OMB clearance request is to continue these types of analyses, but using new data collection instruments updated to reflect changes due to the reauthorization of ESEA by the ESSA. The request is to begin data collection and analyses for the 2018-19 school year and subsequent years.

Short Statement: Appendix B contains a summary of changes for the survey instrument. The total annual hours has increased due to the increased level of detail requested in the table in Question 1 on the allocations by allowable activity, additional questions on allocations in various areas, and requests for data on teacher evaluation and retention. We estimate that these revisions have increased the hours required to complete the survey from five hours in the previous clearance to 10 hours. As a result, the total annual hours has increased from 260 hours to 520 hours. These hours may be revised following pilot tests of the survey instrument.
