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: Study of District and School Uses of Federal
Education Funds.
OMB Control Number: 1850-0951.
Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved
ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, local, and Tribal governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 250.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,630.
Abstract: Federal funds account for less than 10 percent of K-12
education spending nationally but can play an important role,
particularly in communities that are lower-income or have lower-
performing schools. Although each Federal education program has unique
goals and provisions, they often allow funds to be used for similar
purposes and services or overlapping populations. Congress provided
State and local education agencies greater flexibility in their use of
Federal funds through the 2015 reauthorization of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act (ESEA). As the COVID-19 pandemic began to
disrupt schools in 2020, Congress also created new programs to provide
funding and flexibilities for States and districts to respond to the
emergency. Because policymakers remain interested in how Federal
dollars are spent, this study will examine the distribution and use of
pandemic relief funds and explore the possibility of examining
[[Page 62778]]
those issues for five ''core'' Federal education programs that
represent the vast share of the Department's K-12 grant making: part A
of titles I, II, III, and IV of ESEA, and title I, part B of the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
