Title of Collection: Expanding Opportunity through Quality Charter
Schools Program: Technical Assistance to Support Monitoring,
Evaluation, Data Collection, and Dissemination of Best Practices.
OMB Control Number: 1810-NEW.
Type of Review: New ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 110.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 172.
Abstract: This request is for a new OMB approval to collect data
necessary to support the following: Charter School Programs (CSP) Data
Collection, Risk Assessment, and Monitoring. This collection will
replace previously approved 1855-0016 collection in order to obtain a
new OMB number that is associated with the sub-agency this collection
has moved to following a reorganization. The collection of information
is still necessary in order to perform data collection, data analysis,
risk assessment, and grantee monitoring for the CSP. However, the
number of respondents is expected to decrease over the life of this
collection, as new grantees (from FY 2022 onward) use the Charter
Online Management and Performance System (COMPS) for their reporting
(OMB Control Numbers 1810-0781 through 1810-0787). This collection will
remain in place for the older grantees that still have active CSP
grants.
This data collection is coordinated with the EDFacts Initiative
(EDFacts) to reduce respondent burden and fully utilize data submitted
by States and available to the U.S. Department of Education (ED)
through the EDFacts database. Specifically, under the current data
collection, ED collects CSP grant award information from grantees
(State agencies, charter management organizations, and some schools) to
create a new database of current CSP-funded charter schools and award
amounts. Once complete, ED merges performance information extracted
from the EDFacts database with the database of CSP-funded charter
schools. Together, these data allow ED to monitor CSP grant performance
and analyze data related to accountability for academic performance,
financial integrity, and program effectiveness.
