2. Data Introduction

   1. Overview

This document provides a description of the data elements used to describe the implementation and performance of CSP Grantees as part of the Charter School Programs (CSP) Data Collection, Risk Assessment, and Monitoring contract (GS-10F-0288W) and the Charter Online Management and Performance System (COMPS).

The Charter Schools Program (CSP) grant program serves the purpose of Section 5201 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), which seeks to expand the number of high-quality charter schools and increase national understanding of the charter school model.

2. Purpose

The Charter Online Management and Performance System (COMPS) is a web-based application designed to assist ED in conducting compliance and performance monitoring activities for CSP Grantees. COMPS accumulates evidence of compliance and performance from Grantees, as well as provides the ability to capture previously reported data in a more secure and efficient manner. The vision is that COMPS will:

• Streamline the collection of data relating to the CSP monitoring of SEs using COMPS.

• Provide a comprehensive performance and knowledge management platform.

• Collect grant-recipient performance data, import budget data, perform analytics, automate key document and reporting workflows, and enable two-way communication between OESE and Grantees.

Grantees currently submit their Annual Performance Reports through the ED 524B generic form, and report on funding to schools using the Excel-based CSP Data Collection Form. The new collection for grantees will combine and refine the data elements form each, and provide for reporting via a web-based platform.

Two modules in COMPS are covered within this data guide. They are:

• School/Subgrant Data Collection Module: Based on the current CSP Data Collection Form, this module allows the Department to monitor CSP grant performance and analyze data related to accountability for academic performance and financial integrity. Grantees submit data twice per year (Spring and Fall) to update school information, obligations, operational statuses etc.

• Annual Performance Reports (APR) Module: Based on the “paper form” that is submitted to the Department today, this module allows grantees to submit their APRs twice per year (Spring and Fall) to enter narratives on their performance towards meeting performance measures and budget.

Authorized users submit their APRs using this system. In each subsequent reporting period, grantee users will only be required to update those sections of the performance report that have new activity or outcomes, thereby eliminating the need to re-enter the same static information each year. This is the most efficient way to collect and review performance reports at the grantee and program level. It also allows for rapid dissemination of data collected as it is collected via the web-based system and stored in a secure database. ED staff can access the data at any time to respond immediately to Congress. Select data elements are made available to authorized grantee users via the web-based application.

The purpose of this document is to outline the data architecture and key data elements associated with the APR and School/Subgrant Data Collection module for SE Grantees. This data guide defines the fields collected in the COMPS APR and School/Subgrant Data Collection modules for SE grantees. It is to be used in conjunction with the SE COMPS APR and School/Subgrant Data Collection User Guide for a complete understanding of the system and process.

3. Data Workflow/Architecture

   1. Workflow

The following steps depict the high-level workflow:

1. Grantees will have filled out a Grant Profile for their associated CSP award (see Grant Profile User Guide).

2. Each reporting period ED will open the system for reporting.

3. Grantees will enter the School/Subgrant Data Collection Module to submit data associated to their grant award.

4. Grantees will fill out the requirement information and add a subgrant (if new), or update subgrants (e.g., obligations made).

   1. Please note: The subsequent sections/screenshots show the “add” school aspect of the process. Grantees can also click to edit prior subgrant submissions. This has the same data fields but would display what they had previously submitted.

5. Grantees will submit it back to ED/Contractor for review.

6. ED/Contractor will review, and either approve or reactivate the submission.

7. If reactivated, the grantees will add or correct information and resubmit the information back to ED.

8. Information submitted in the School/Subgrant Data Collection module will feed into the APR module.

9. Once a data collection form has been submitted within a reporting period (Spring/Fall), the Grantee will then be able to access the APR module.

10. Grantees will fill out the required information in the APR.

    1. Note: After the first APR submission, data is saved and then redisplayed to Grantees for.

11. Grantees will submit it back to the Department for review.

12. ED will review, and either approve or reactivated.

13. If reactivated, the grantee will add or correct information and resubmit.

14. The process repeats each Spring and Fall until the grant award is closed out.

2. Data Architecture

The database for COMPS is contained in a Microsoft SQL Server instance contained within the virtual machine running the web application.

3. Logic Data Model

The following diagram is a simple example of how the User Account Management, Grant Profile modules, School/Subgrant Data Collection and APR modules are linked, with interactions by users.

4. School/Subgrant Collection

   1. Overview

The School/Subgrant Data Collection module is an online version of the previously used, excel based CSP Data Collection Form. This module is used to collect information to ensure compliance and gauge program impact. ED seeks to collect descriptive information about program operation from each grantee. Also, ED seeks to collect subgrant-level information on the operational statuses of all CSP-funded subgrants; amounts obligated and paid to CSP-funded subgrants; Authorizer information; and other subgrant/school-level data (Title I status, school type, etc.). This module will be utilized twice a year by all CSP grantees funded through the SE program. The module is considered part of the reporting requirement for grantees and, as such, is typically administered in conjunction with the Annual Performance Report (APR) and again six months following (usually as grantees are submitting updated budget documents to CSP).
