Abstract: This request is for an extension of OMB approval to collect data for the Expanding Opportunity through Quality Charter Schools Program: Technical Assistance to Support Monitoring, Evaluation, Data Collection, and Dissemination of Best Practices formerly titled Charter Schools Program (CSP) Grant Awards 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). Specifically, under the current data collection, ED collects CSP grant award information from grantees (State agencies, charter management organizations, and some schools) to create a new database of current CSP-funded charter schools. Together, these data allow ED to monitor CSP grant performance and analyze data related to accountability for academic purposes, financial integrity, and program effectiveness.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an adjustment increase of 21 respondents and -3 annual burden hours. The data collection form remains the same as in the current collection. While the number of respondents may change slightly as new grantees receive funding from the Charter Schools Program and current grantees complete their projects, the total burden remains virtually the same. Further, based upon the current data collection, we have an accurate count of the number of sub grant awards to charter schools and can better estimate the reporting burden for each grantee based on this count.
