Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: In FY 2016, the
Department will, from the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act Title III
National Activities funds, award grants
on a competitive basis for the Asian
American and Pacific Islander (AAPI)
Data Disaggregation (D2) program. The
grants will be awarded to State
educational agencies (SEAs) in consortia
with local educational agencies (LEAs)
to obtain and evaluate disaggregated
data on English Learner (EL) AAPI
subpopulations beyond the existing
seven racial and ethnic categories 1
within the school community.
Background: There has been ongoing
and increasing interest among States in
using data to identify effective practices
that can be used by educators to
improve student outcomes in our
education system and in disseminating
those practices. Comprehensive data
collection systems are integral to
enabling States to identify and
disseminate such practices.
In addition, a number of States have
found that disaggregated data on student
performance is critical for identifying
and developing strategies for closing
1 In 1997, the Office of Management and Budget
created five categories for data on race: American
Indian or Alaska Native; Asian; Black or African
American; Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific
Islander; and White; and two categories for data on
ethnicity: ‘‘Hispanic or Latino’’ and ‘‘Not Hispanic
or Latino.’’ These data standards stemmed in large
measure from new responsibilities to enforce civil
rights laws. Data are needed to monitor equal access
in housing, education, employment, and other
areas, for populations that historically had
experienced discrimination and differential
treatment because of their race or ethnicity.
