Needs and Uses: The School District Review Program (SDRP) is a U.S.
Department of Education National Center for Education Statistics (NCES)
sponsored program conducted annually by the U.S. Census Bureau. It is
of vital importance for each state's allocation of federal funding
under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act as amended
by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015, Public Law 114-95. School
district information submitted through this program, along with the
decennial census population, Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates,
and current population estimates, are used in forming the Census
Bureau's estimates of the number of children ages 5 through 17 in
families in poverty for each school district. The U.S Department of
Education uses these estimates to allocate more than $17 billion
annually in Title I funds.
The SDRP encompasses the review of Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3
school districts as defined by the NCES. Type 1 is a local school
district that is not a component of a supervisory union. Type 2 is a
local school district component of a supervisory union sharing a
superintendent and administrative services with other local school
districts. Type 3 is an education agency that performs administrative
services for more than one school district, providing a common
superintendent for participating districts.
Respondents to the SDRP are the mapping coordinators and Title I
Coordinators from the fifty states and the District of Columbia. The
NCES also anticipates the inclusion of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
within the next three years. Mapping coordinators are designated by the
state departments of education and are tasked with reviewing and
providing updates for school district boundaries, federally assigned
school district local education agency codes, names, grade ranges, and
levels to the Census Bureau. Title I Coordinators are responsible for
overseeing the SDRP and reviewing all materials.
There are two phases to the SDRP: the Annotation Phase and
Verification Phase. During the Annotation Phase, the Census Bureau
provides mapping coordinators with materials containing the latest
school district boundaries and school district information that the
Census Bureau has on file for their state. Mapping coordinators review
the data and submit any changes to the Census Bureau. The Census Bureau
reviews and processes the information submitted by the mapping
coordinator and updates the Master Address File/Topologically
Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) System.
During the Verification Phase, mapping coordinators verify that the
Census Bureau updated the MAF/TIGER System accurately and completely
with updates submitted during the Annotation Phase.
The Census Bureau is adding a feedback component to allow for the
solicitation of feedback from respondents to improve the administration
of the program and potentially reduce the future burden. Respondents
may be asked to provide their feedback on materials, method(s) of data
collection, manner of communications, and the usability of program
applications and tools.
Affected Public: All fifty states, the District of Columbia, and
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C. 16, 141, and 193. NCES Legal
Authority: Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act as
amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015, Public Law 114-95.
