Title I, Part A (Title I) of the
Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended
by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA), contains several
provisions that require State education agencies (SEAs), local
educational agencies (LEAs), and schools to collect and disseminate
information. The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) covers these
activities. The previous authorization of the ESEA contained
information collection requirements which are currently approved by
OMB under control number 1810-0581. Congress approved a joint
resolution on March 9, 2017 disapproving the U.S. Department of
Education’s (Department’s) regulations related to State plans,
statewide accountability systems, and data reporting. The burden
changes reflected in this revision renewal data collection are a
result of this joint resolution and reflect only the requirements
of the statute. The requirement to produce a State and LEA report
card remains unchanged under this revision renewal and most of the
work to produce the report cards is the same. There are some
requirements that were in the regulations that are not required due
to the joint resolution. As a result, the burden estimate is
slightly lower under this revision renewal. SEAs, LEAs, and schools
collect and disseminate the information to carry out the reporting
requirements of Title I of the ESEA. The information is used to
facilitate compliance with statutory requirements and to provide
information to school communities (including parents), LEAs, SEAs
and the Department regarding activities required under Title I of
the ESEA.
Pursuant to the Congressional
Review Act (CRA) (5 U.S.C. §§ 801- 808), Congress approved a joint
resolution on March 9, 2017 disapproving the U.S. Department of
Education’s (Department’s) regulations related to State plans,
statewide accountability systems, and data reporting. The burden
changes reflected in this data collection are a result of this
joint resolution and reflect only the requirements of the
statute.
