Additional Information: During the 60-day public comment period, ED received comments on the new and/or substantially revised items added to the CSPR for SY 2007-08 from 9 States. Public comments and ED’s responses are detailed in a supplemental document to the SY 2007-08 CSPR currently pending approval from OMB. In addition, during the 60-day comment period, 15 States submitted comments in response to a focused question intended to help the Department determine the viability of moving any or all of the CSPR questions, which were initially prepopulated in 2006-07 to exclusive population by EDFacts for 2007-08 or 2008-09. Based on the responses to the focused question, along with ED’s review of SEA transition agreements, ED has determined that it will not move any additional items to full population from EDFacts for the CSPR SY 2007-08 collection. ED will work with the States over the next several months to determine which items will be fully populated by EDFacts for the SY 2008-09 and subsequent CSPR collections. The SY 2007-08 CSPR & EDFacts Cross-walk, linking EDFacts data files to CSPR questions is included in the CSPR clearance package. Technical Amendments for SY 08-09 EDFacts Data Set related to the new CSPR questions in Section 1.4.8 on School Improvement Status also are included in the CSPR SY 2007-08 clearance documents.
