Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 13, 2011 / Notices
Abstract: This Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) package requests
clearance for data collection, analysis,
and reporting activities from 50 states
and the District of Columbia, and
approximately 134 districts and 1,200
schools as part of an evaluation of Race
to the Top (RTT) and School
Improvement Grants (SIG). 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.

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.
