The Department of Educationâs Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) administers multiple programs administered by State Educational Agencies (SEAs), including Title I, Sections 1001-1004 (School Improvement); Title I, Part A (Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Educational Agencies); Title I, Part B (Enhanced Assessments Grants (EAG), and Grants for State Assessments and Related Activities); Title II, Part A (Supporting Effective Instruction); Title III, Part A (English Language Acquisition, Language Enhancement, and Academic Achievement). Annual performance reviews â annual phone or on-site conversations with a purposeful sample of SEA and Local Education Agency (LEA) program directors and coordinators â help ensure that an SEA and its LEA are making progress toward improving student achievement and the quality of instruction for all students and are ensuring requirements are met through the review of the program and fiscal requirements to safeguard public funds from waste, fraud, and abuse. The information shared with OESE also informs the selection and delivery of technical assistance to SEAs and aligns structures, processes, and routines so OESE can regularly monitor the connection between grant administration and intended outcomes.

This is a new collection. The increase in burden occurred because OESE has determined that this information is necessary to ensure basic program requirements are met, identify areas of improvement for SEA program coordinators and directors, and focus technical assistance resources where they are needed the most to provide the best educational outcomes for the nationâs students and their families.
