Needs and Uses: The School District Review Program (SDRP) is one of many voluntary geographic partnership programs at the U.S. Census Bureau. The SDRP collects school district information and boundaries to update the Census Bureau’s geographic database of addresses, streets, and boundaries on an annual basis. The Census Bureau uses its geographic database to tie demographic data from surveys and the decennial census to locations and areas, such as cities, school districts, and counties. To tabulate statistics by localities, the Census Bureau must have accurate addresses and boundaries. The boundaries collected in SDRP and other geographic programs will create census blocks, which are the building blocks for all Census Bureau geographic boundaries. Legal, administrative, and statistical geographies are all used to define block boundaries. While the geographic programs differ in requirements, time frame, and participants, SDRP and the other geographic programs all follow the same basic process: 1. The Census Bureau invites eligible participants to take part in the program. For SDRP, the Census Bureau invites the following state officials: Title I coordinators and mapping coordinators. The Title 1 Coordinator designates the mapping coordinator for the SDRP. 2. If they elect to join the program, the state officials receive a copy of the school district boundaries that the Census Bureau has on file. The Census Bureau also provides SDRP participants with free customized mapping software to facilitate their work. 3. Participants review the boundaries in the Census Bureau-provided digital maps and update them if needed. For SDRP, the state government participants reach out to contacts in school districts across their state to collect updates. State officials will provide the Census Bureau with updates as well as corrections to the federal Local PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 24083 Education Agency (LEA) identification numbers, school district boundaries, school names, grade ranges, and levels for which each school district is financially responsible. 4. Participants return their updates to the Census Bureau. In the SDRP, this is known as the Annotation Phase. 5. The Census Bureau updates its geographic database with boundary updates from participants. 6. The Census Bureau creates maps from its geographic database and sends them to participants for final review. In the SDRP, this is known as the Verification Phase. 7. The Census Bureau uses the newly updated and verified boundaries to tabulate statistics, in particular the Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) Program’s estimates of the number of families with children, aged 5 through 17, in poverty for each school district for the U.S. Department of Education. The U.S. Department of Education uses these estimates to allocate more than $14 billion in Title I funding annually. These Census Bureau estimates are the basis of the Title I allocation for each school district. The SDRP is of vital importance for each state’s allocation of funds under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) as amended by Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015, Public Law 114–95. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) sponsors the SDRP. The NCES identifies a Title I coordinator for each state and the District of Columbia, and the Census Bureau works with the Title I coordinator on identifying a mapping coordinator in each state to work with the Census Bureau to implement this work. The mapping coordinator collects updates from local school districts, state education officials, county planners, and state data centers, and ensures that submissions are completed within the SDRP’s time frame. The SDRP encompasses Type 1 and Type 2 school districts as defined by the NCES. Type 1 is a local school district that is not a component of a supervisory union. Type 2 is a local school district component of a supervisory union sharing a superintendent and administrative services with other local school districts. The SDRP consists of two phases—the Annotation Phase and the Verification Phase—described below: Annotation Phase In the Annotation Phase, mapping coordinators gather school district updates from school district superintendents and other state officials E:\FR\FM\24MYN1.SGM 24MYN1 24084 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 101 / Thursday, May 24, 2018 / Notices and use Census Bureau-provided materials to review and update school district boundaries, names, codes, and geographic relationships. The Census Bureau provides mapping coordinators with school district listings, spatial data in Esri shapefile format, blank submission logs, and Geographic Update Partnership Software (GUPS). The school district listings consist of school district inventories, school names, levels, grade ranges, and other data about school districts within their state. If the mapping coordinator has non-spatial updates (e.g., name changes, simple consolidations, simple dissolutions, and others), the mapping coordinator updates the Census Bureauprovided submission log with those changes. If a mapping coordinator needs to perform spatial updates to a school district boundary, the mapping coordinator uses Census Bureauprovided GUPS and spatial data to make updates.

    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 2,040 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The School District Review Program (SDRP) is one of 
many voluntary geographic partnership programs at the U.S. Census 
Bureau. The SDRP collects school district information and boundaries to 
update the Census Bureau's geographic database of addresses, streets, 
and boundaries on an annual basis. The Census Bureau uses its

Bureau geographic boundaries. Legal, administrative, and statistical 
geographies are all used to define block boundaries. While the 
geographic programs differ in requirements, time frame, and

    5. The Census Bureau updates its geographic database with boundary 
updates from participants.
    6. The Census Bureau creates maps from its geographic database and

children, aged 5 through 17, in poverty for each school district for 
the U.S. Department of Education. The U.S. Department of Education uses 
these estimates to allocate more than $14 billion in Title I funding 
annually. These Census Bureau estimates are the basis of the Title I 
allocation for each school district. The SDRP is of vital importance 
for each state's allocation of funds under Title I of the Elementary 
and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) as amended by Every Student Succeeds 
Act of 2015, Public Law 114-95.
    The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) sponsors the 
SDRP. The NCES identifies a Title I coordinator for each state and the 
District of Columbia, and the Census Bureau works with the Title I 
coordinator on identifying a mapping coordinator in each state to work 
with the Census Bureau to implement this work. The mapping coordinator 
collects updates from local school districts, state education 
officials, county planners, and state data centers, and ensures that 
submissions are completed within the SDRP's time frame.
    The SDRP encompasses Type 1 and Type 2 school districts as defined 
by the NCES. Type 1 is a local school district that is not a component 
of a supervisory union. Type 2 is a local school district component of 
a supervisory union sharing a superintendent and administrative 
services with other local school districts.
    The SDRP consists of two phases--the Annotation Phase and the 
Verification Phase--described below:

Annotation Phase

    In the Annotation Phase, mapping coordinators gather school 
district updates from school district superintendents and other state 
officials

[[Page 24084]]

and use Census Bureau-provided materials to review and update school 
district boundaries, names, codes, and geographic relationships. The 
Census Bureau provides mapping coordinators with school district 
listings, spatial data in Esri shapefile format, blank submission logs, 
and Geographic Update Partnership Software (GUPS). The school district 
listings consist of school district inventories, school names, levels, 
grade ranges, and other data about school districts within their state. 
If the mapping coordinator has non-spatial updates (e.g., name changes, 
simple consolidations, simple dissolutions, and others), the mapping 
coordinator updates the Census Bureau-provided submission log with 
those changes. If a mapping coordinator needs to perform spatial 
updates to a school district boundary, the mapping coordinator uses 
Census Bureau-provided GUPS and spatial data to make updates. GUPS, 
SDRP version, is a Census Bureau-created, user-friendly, free digital 
mapping tool for mapping coordinators. It contains all the 
functionality necessary for mapping coordinators to spatially make and 
validate their school district updates. Once mapping coordinators have 
reviewed and updated the school district information for their state, 
the mapping coordinator sends it to the Census Bureau, using Secure Web 
Incoming Module, a web portal for uploading SDRP submissions. The 
Census Bureau will update the MAF/TIGER database with the updates sent 
by the mapping coordinator.

Verification Phase

    In the Verification Phase, the Census Bureau sends mapping 
coordinators newly created listings and digital files, and mapping 
coordinators use the SDRP verification module in GUPS to review these 
files and verify that the Census Bureau correctly captured their 
submitted information. The mapping coordinator can tag the area of 
issue and send the information to the Census Bureau to make corrections 
if the Census Bureau did not incorporate their boundary changes or 
other updates correctly.
    Affected Public: All fifty states and the District of Columbia.
    Frequency: Annual.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C. Section 16, 141, and 193.
    NCES Legal Authority: Title I, Part A of the Elementary and 
Secondary Education Act as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 
2015, Public Law (Pub. L.) 114-95.
    This information collection request may be viewed at
