Abstract: On December 10, 2009, the
U.S. Department of Education
(Department) published final
requirements and a State educational
agency (SEA) application for School
Improvement Grants (SIG) authorized
under section 1003(g) of Title I of the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended, and
funded through the Department of
Education Appropriations Act, 2009 (FY
2009) and the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). On
January 21, 2010, the Department
published interim final requirements
and a revised SEA application, which
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
amended the final requirements and
application issued in December.
Together, these requirements are
referred to in this document as ‘‘final
requirements.’’
The final requirements define the
criteria that an SEA must use to award
ARRA and FY 2009 SIG funds to local
educational agencies (LEAs). In
awarding these funds, an SEA must give
priority to the LEAs with the lowestachieving schools that demonstrate the
greatest need for the funds and the
strongest commitment to using the
funds to provide adequate resources to
their lowest-achieving schools eligible
to receive services provided through SIG
funds in order to raise substantially the
achievement of the students attending
those schools.
The final requirements also include
information collection activities covered
under the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA). The activities consist of: (1) A
new application for an SEA to submit to
the Department to apply for FY 2009
and ARRA SIG funds; (2) the reporting
of specific school-level data on the use
of SIG funds and specific interventions
implemented in LEAs receiving SIG
funds that the Department currently
does not collect through EDFacts; (3) an
application for an LEA to submit to its
SEA to receive SIG funds; and (4) the
SEA posting its LEAs’ applications.
The Department received emergency
approval of the information collection
activities through June 30, 2010 at the
same time it issued the final
requirements. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) also
approved a change to the collection at
the time the Department issued the
interim requirements in January. These
approvals permitted the SEA
application process to begin so that
students in the lowest-achieving schools
will begin receiving the assistance they
need as soon as possible. The
information collection activities in the
final requirements will continue past
June 30th, however. Therefore, the
Department is requesting regular
approval of the information collection
activities.

indentified to participate in the study,
they will be asked to complete a short
form providing information about Title

information includes the percent of
students in a selected school that are
eligible for free-or-reduced-price lunch,
percent of third graders who are
classified as reading proficient on state
assessments in 2009–10, grade levels in
selected schools, and number of
students in each grade. Based on the
