Title of Collection: Migrant Student Information Exchange (MSIX)
Minimum Data Elements (MDEs).
OMB Control Number: 1810-0683.
Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 46.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 399,774.
Abstract: The Migrant Information Exchange (MSIX) is a nationwide
electronic records exchange mechanism mandated under title I, part C of
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the
Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The Migrant Education Program (MEP)
is authorized under sections 1301-1309 in title I, part C of the ESEA.
MSIX and the minimum data elements (MDEs) are authorized under section
1308(b) of the ESEA, as amended. As a condition of receiving a grant of
funds under the MEP, each State Educational Agency (SEA) is required to
collect, maintain, and submit minimum health and education-related data
to MSIX within established time-frames. Regulations CFR 34 200.85 for
the MSIX issued by the U.S. Department of Education (the Department)
have been in effect as of June 9, 2016. MSIX is designed to facilitate
timely school enrollment, grade and course placement, accrual of
secondary course credits and participation in the MEP for migratory
children. The regulations help the Department determine accurate
migratory child counts and meet other MEP reporting requirements.
The Department is requesting approval to for a revision of the
1810-0683 information collection that supports statutory requirements
for data collection under title I, part C MEP.
The Office of Migrant Education (OME) would like specific feedback
on the following additions to the MSIX MDEs:
(1) the addition of family contact MDEs, including phone numbers
and email addresses;
[[Page 56939]]
(2) the addition of new acceptable values beyond ``Male'' and
``Female'' for MDE #9 (Sex).
Please see the ``MSIX Minimum Data Elements'' attachment for
details on the MDE additions and changes. There have been edits made to
MDE #s--1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 20, 26, 27, 29, 31, 32, 33, 42, 44, 45,
47, 48, 52, 64, 72, and 74. New MDEs are #'s 77, 78, 79, 80, and 81.
OME has received feedback to include the ``Qualifying Activity''
MDE. At this time, OME has decided not to include the ``Qualifying
Activity'' MDE because the MDE by itself does not provide additional
information regarding the child's qualifying arrival date since it is
connected to the worker, not the child, on the National Certificate of
Eligibility (COE). OME is seeking specific feedback on the usefulness
of this MDE for the States and why it should be included.
