Title of Collection: Office of State Support Progress Check
Quarterly Protocol.
OMB Control Number: 1810-0733.
Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved
ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 212.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 636.
Abstract: The Office of School Support and Accountability (SSA)
administers Title I, Sections 1001-1004 (School Improvement); Title I,
Part A (Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Educational
Agencies); Title I, Part B Grants for State Assessments and Related
Activities; Title II, Part A (Supporting Effective Instruction); Title
I, Part D (Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk); Title IV, Part B (21st
Century Community Learning Centers); and McKinney-Vento Education for
Homeless Children and Youth Program. Quarterly progress checks, phone
or in-person conversations every three months of a fiscal year with
State directors and coordinators, help ensure that State Educational
Agencies (SEAs) are making progress toward increasing student
achievement and improving the quality of instruction for all students
through regular conversations about the quality of SEA implementation
of SSA administered programs. The information shared with SSA helps
inform the selection and delivery of technical assistance to SEAs and
aligns structures, processes, and routines so SSA can regularly monitor
the connection between grant administration and intended outcomes.
Progress checks also allow SSA to proactively engage with SEAs to
identify any issues ahead of formal monitoring visits, decreasing the
need for enforcement actions and minimizing burden for SEAs. This is a
request for a renewal without change of this collection.
