3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The
Department of Education is especially interested in public comment
addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to
the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of information technology. Please note that
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered
public records.
Title of Collection: Evaluation of the Implementation of the
Statewide Family Engagement Centers.
OMB Control Number: 1850-NEW.
Type of Review: A new information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; State, Local, and
Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 65.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 72.
Abstract: Despite the important role family engagement may play in
children's educational progress, families below the poverty line are
significantly less likely than those at or above the poverty line to be
involved in their child's schooling. The Statewide Family Engagement
Centers (SFEC) is one of the key U.S. Department of Education programs
designed to close this gap. Funded for the first time in 2018, SFEC
builds on an earlier program and provides grants to partnerships of
education organizations and their states. The partners are expected to
both deliver services directly to families to increase their engagement
and to provide technical assistance and training to state, district,
and school staff to help them help families. This study will describe
the work of the first 12 grantees, focusing on the extent to which
certain program priorities are being implemented. The results are
intended to help federal policy makers refine the goals and objectives
of the SFEC program, as well as inform the work of education
organizations and state and local education agencies beyond the current
grantees to improve their work with families.
