This request is for a new OMB approval
to collect the Grant Profile data from Charter School Programs
(CSP) Replication and Expansion of High-Quality Charter Schools
(CMO) grantees. The Charter School Programs (CSP) was originally
authorized under Title V, Part B, Subpart 1, Sections 5201 through
5211 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965,
as amended by the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001. For
fiscal year 2017 and thereafter, ESEA has been amended by the Every
Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), (20USC 7221-7221i), which reserves
funds to improve education by supporting innovation in public
education and to: (2) provide financial assistance for the
planning, program design, and initial implementation of charter
schools; (3) increase the number of high-quality charter schools
available to students across the United States; (4) evaluate the
impact of charter schools on student achievement, families, and
communities, and share best practices between charter schools and
other public schools; (5) encourage States to provide support to
charter schools for facilities financing in an amount more nearly
commensurate to the amount States typically provide for traditional
public schools; (6) expand opportunities for children with
disabilities, English learners, and other traditionally underserved
students to attend charter schools and meet the challenging State
academic standards; (7) support efforts to strengthen the charter
school authorizing process to improve performance management,
including transparency, oversight and monitoring (including
financial audits), and evaluation of such schools; and (8) support
quality, accountability, and transparency in the operational
performance of all authorized public chartering agencies, including
State educational agencies, local educational agencies, and other
authorizing entities. The U.S. Department of Education (ED) is
requesting authorization to collect data from CSP grantees within
the CMO program through a new online platform. In 2022, ED began
development of a new data collection system, the Charter Online
Management and Performance System (COMPS), designed specifically to
reduce the burden of reporting for users and increase validity of
the overall data. This new collection consists of questions
responsive to the actions established in the program’s final rule
published in the Federal Register on July 6, 2022, as well as the
CMO program Notice Inviting Applications (NIA). This collection
request is a consolidation of all previously established program
data collection efforts and provides a more comprehensive
representation of grantee performance.
