The Comprehensive Literacy State
Development (CLSD) program is authorized under the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA), Sections
2222-2225. The CLSD program awards competitive grants to advance
literacy skills—using evidence-based practices, activities, and
interventions, including preliteracy skills, reading, and
writing—for children from birth through grade 12, with an emphasis
on disadvantaged children, including children living in poverty,
English learners, and children with disabilities. Eligible entities
include the state education agencies (SEAs) of the 50 states, the
District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Additionally, directed
awards are made to four (4) Outlying Areas: American Samoa, the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S.
Virgin Islands. A portion of funds is also awarded directly to the
Bureau of Indian Education. CLSD requires that at least 95% of
funds awarded to SEAs be distributed to local education agencies
through a subgrant award process. However, the current OMB-approved
ED generic grant performance report does not include fields to
capture program (subgrantee) demographic data or performance
measures to ensure grantees are meeting statutory and regulatory
requirements and making progress toward meeting the goals and
objectives of their approved projects. The proposed performance
report metrics reflect the need to collect pertinent grantee- and
subgrantee-level data that could be used to guide future program
policy and practice and respond to stakeholder, congressional, and
agency inquiries. Thus, the CLSD program staff would better
understand whom they serve, programmatic needs, strategies to meet
those needs, and how collecting program-level data would benefit
the students and support their learning. The new CLSD performance
report metrics would (a) collect programmatic data that demonstrate
aggregate program-level impact; (b) provide subgrantees’ aggregated
data, such as the number of students and professionals served, how
funds have been used (e.g., professional learning, curricular
materials), and staffing; and (c) provide the CLSD program staff
the data to report the performance and outcomes of the CLSD
program, at both the grantee and the subgrantee levels. These new
measures also would help to add specificity to ED’s monitoring
efforts.
This is a new information
collection that will result in 638 burden hours and 58 responses
for the public.
