Abstract: The U.S. Department of
Education has as one of its important
policy goals expanding the number of
high-quality public school choice
options. Specifically, according to Part
B section 5201 of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act, two of the
established purposes of the Charter
School Program office are: Evaluating
the effects of charter schools, including
the effects on students, student
academic achievement, staff and
parents; and expanding the number of
high-quality charter schools available to
students across the nation.
Charter school authorization is the
center of efforts to expand and ensure
high-quality public school choice
options through public charter schools.
Charter school authorizers are the
public entities primarily responsible for:
Initial charter authorizations, on-going
monitoring and oversight, and charter
renewal and closure decisions.
Currently there is not a comprehensive,
fully-populated tool for tracking the
activities of and evaluating the quality
of authorizers nationwide based on their
authorizing decisions in light of schools’
performance.
The charter authorizer survey will be
the key tool by which the National
Charter School Resource Center collects
the following data elements from the
nation’s charter school authorizers:
Authorizing agency; authorizing agency
type (e.g., school district, State
Educational Agency, independent
authorizer), basic school information,
year the school opened, past renewal
decision(s), reasons for nonrenewal (if
applicable), year closed (if applicable),
reason for closure (if applicable), and
the next renewal decision year. The
charter school authorizer survey will be
administered once annually, in the
spring. Respondents will be able to
complete and return the survey in paper
form or electronically, by visiting a link
stated on the paper form.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The Striving Readers
program is authorized as part of the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010
(Pub. L. 111–117) (the Act) under the
demonstration authority in Title I, part
E, section 1502 of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965, as
amended (ESEA). $200 million in funds
is available in fiscal year 2010 under
section 1502 of the ESEA for a
comprehensive literacy development
and education program to advance
literacy skills, including pre-literacy
skills, reading, and writing, for students
from birth through grade 12, including
limited-English-proficient students and
students with disabilities. To clearly
distinguish this program from the
Striving Readers program funded from
FY 2005 to FY 2009, which focused on
adolescent literacy, the Department is
referring to the program created
pursuant to the FY 2010 appropriation
as the ‘‘Striving Readers Comprehensive
Literacy’’ program.
The Act reserves $10 million for
formula grants to States to create or
maintain a State Literacy Team with
expertise in literacy development and
education for children from birth
through grade 12 and to assist States in
developing a comprehensive literacy
plan. One-half of one percent of these
funds is reserved for the Secretary of the
Interior for a comprehensive literacy
program for schools funded by the
Bureau of Indian Education and onehalf of one percent is reserved for such
programs for grants to the outlying
areas.
After reserving up to 5 percent of the
total appropriation for national
activities, the Department must use the
remaining funds for competitive awards
to SEAs. SEAs may use up to five
percent for State leadership activities
and must award not less than 95 percent
