The U.S. Department of Education is
requesting clearance for a revision to 1810-0618 in order to
continue collecting data annually from school districts about how
Title II, Part A funds are used to support authorized activities
and improve equitable access to teachers for low-income and
minority students; including professional development for teachers,
principals, and other school leaders. The reporting requirements
are outlined in Section 2104(b) of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act (ESEA), as reauthorized by the Every Student Succeeds
Act of 2015 (ESSA). The annual survey will include a state
representative sample of traditional school districts, a nationally
representative sample of charter school districts, and an annual
request for each state to provide a list of districts that receive
Title II, Part A funds and each district’s allocated Title II, part
A amount. The survey will be sent to district Title II, Part A
coordinators and administered using an electronic
instrument.
There is a slight increase from
the last data collection due to the increased district sample from
5,345 to 5,500. The increase in sample size creates an estimated
increase of 275 burden hours and an additional 126 responses
annually. The change due to the adjustment in estimated time to
complete the district survey increases the total burden by 4,400
hours.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
