The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act contained substantial funding for systemic education reform. This included $4 billion in RTT grants, which were awarded to 11 states and the District of Columbia based both on their education reform plans and their past success in creating the conditions for reform, and $3 billion in additional funding for SIG, which is aimed at implementing one of four School Turnaround Models (STMs) in the lowest-performing schools. The evaluation is designed to (1) study the implementation of RTT and SIG; (2) analyze the impact of SIG- or RTTfunded STMs on student outcomes using a regression discontinuity design; (3) analyze the relationship between receipt of RTT funds and student outcomes using an interrupted time series design; and (4) investigate the relationship between STM turnaround models (and strategies within those models) and student outcomes in lowperforming schools. This OMB package follows a previously approved package for recruitment activities (#1850–0884), and includes data collection forms, and burden estimates of the number of respondents and hours of response time.

SUMMARY: Dated: December 8, 2011. Darrin King, Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Privacy, Information and Records Management Services, Office of Management. Office of Innovation and Improvement Type of Review: Extension. Title of Collection: Charter Schools Program Grand Award Database. PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 OMB Control Number: 1855–0016. Agency Form Number(s): N/A. Frequency of Responses: Annually. Affected Public: State, Local and Tribal Government. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 40. Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 98. Abstract: This request is for renewal of Office of Management and Budget approval to collect data necessary for the Charter Schools Program (CSP) Grant Award Database. The CSP is authorized under Title V, Part B, Subpart 1, Sections 5201 through 5211 of the Elementary and Secondary Act (ESEA) of 1965, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Under Title V, Part B, Section 5205 of the ESEA, the Secretary reserves CSP funds to carry out national activities to provide charter schools with information, to evaluate and study charter schools, and to provide other types of technical assistance. This data collection is coordinated with the EDFacts initiative to reduce respondent burden and fully utilize data submitted by States and available to the U.S. Department of Education (ED) through the Education Data Exchange Network (EDEN). Under the current data collection, ED collects CSP grant award information from grantees (State agencies and some schools) for a database of current CSP-funded charter schools and award amounts; ED merges performance information extracted from the EDEN 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.
