Arrington, IC Clearance Official, Regulatory Information Management Services, Office of Management. Office of Elementary and Secondary Education Type of Review: Revision. Title: Survey on the Use of Funds Under Title II, Part A (‘‘Improving Teacher Quality State Grants— Subgrants to LEAs’’). Frequency: Annually. Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Gov’t, SEAs or LEAs (primary). Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: Responses: 850. Burden Hours: 5,000. Abstract: The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), which reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, provides funds to districts to improve the quality of their teaching and principal force and raise student achievement. These funds are provided to districts through Title II, Part A (‘‘Improving Teacher Quality State Grants—Subgrants to LEAs’’). The purpose of this survey is for the U.S. Department of Education to have a better understanding of how districts are using these funds. The survey also collects information on high-quality professional development in LEAs. This OMB clearance request is to continue these analyses using a similar data collection instrument and sampling plan for the 2007–2008 school year and subsequent years. The major change from past years is the addition of a short survey for State Educational Agencies (SEAs). The SEA survey will provide information on fiscal year allocations of Title II, Part A funds made to the LEAs selected for participation in the main survey and be preprinted with the names of the LEAs selected for participation in the LEA survey.
