Title of Collection: Common Core of
Data (CCD) School-Level Finance
Survey (SLFS) 2022–2024.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0930.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,

Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 331.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 10,760.
Abstract: NCES annually publishes
comprehensive data on the finances of
public elementary/secondary schools
through the Common Core of Data
(CCD). For numerous years, these data
have been released at the state level
through the National Public Education
Financial Survey (NPEFS) (OMB #1850–
0067) and at the school district level
through the Local Education Agency
(School District) Finance Survey (F–33).
(OMB #0607–0700). There is a
significant demand for finance data at
the school level. Policymakers,
researchers, and the public have long
voiced concerns about the equitable
distribution of school funding within
and across school districts. School-level
finance data addresses the need for
reliable and unbiased measures that can
be utilized to compare how resources
are distributed among schools within
local districts. Education expenditure
data are now available at the school
level through the School-Level Finance
Survey (SLFS).
The School-Level Finance Survey
(SLFS) data collection is conducted
annually by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES), within the
U.S. Department of Education (ED). In
November of 2018, the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approved changes to the SLFS wherein
variables have been added to make the
SLFS directly analogous to the F–33
Survey and to the Every Student
Succeeds Act (ESSA) provisions on
reporting expenditures per-pupil at the
local education agency (LEA) and
school-level. A previous package
cleared in October 2021 approved data
collection for FY 2021, 2022, and 2023
(OMB #1850–0930 v.3). This request
includes considerable modifications to
the previous package and will allow
NCES to conduct in 2023 through 2025
the SLFS for fiscal years 2022 through
2024 (corresponding to school years
2021/22 through 2023/24) and to
continue the collection of data that is
analogous to the current ESSA
expenditures per pupil provision. As an
important new addition that is part of
this request, the Department’s Office of
Civil Rights (OCR) proposes to engage
NCES to assist OCR with collecting
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
school level finance data as part of the
Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC).
Pursuant to its authority under the
Department of Education Organization
Act (DEOA), as well as its regulations,
OCR has determined that the CRDC is
necessary to ascertain or ensure
compliance with the civil rights laws
within its jurisdiction, and therefore
established it as a mandatory collection.
Parts A and B of this submission
present the justification for the
information collection and an
explanation of the statistical methods
employed. Part C describes the SLFS
instrument, Appendix A provides the
SEA communication materials that will
be used to conduct the SLFS data
collection, Appendix B provides the
SLFS data collection form and
instructions, and Appendix C provides
the survey of SEA’s school-level
finances fiscal data plan.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The purpose of
the MEP CIG program is to provide
incentive grants to State educational
agencies (SEAs) that participate in a
consortium with one or more other
SEAs or other appropriate entities to
improve the delivery of services to
migratory children whose education is
interrupted. Through this program, the
Department provides financial
incentives to SEAs that receive Title I,
Part C (MEP) funding to participate in
high-quality consortia to improve the
intrastate and interstate coordination of
migrant education programs by
addressing key needs of migratory
children whose education is
interrupted.
Background: On March 3, 2004, the
Department published in the Federal
Register a notice of final requirements
for the CIG program (69 FR 10109) (2004
CIG Notice of Final Requirements
(NFR)). In the 2004 CIG NFR, the
Department established seven absolute
priorities that promote key national
objectives of the MEP. The Department
added an eighth absolute priority when
it published in the Federal Register a
notice of final priority on March 12,
2008 (73 FR 13217) (2008 CIG Notice of
Final Priority (NFP)).
For FY 2023, the Department is
focusing the CIG competition on four of
the eight absolute priorities. These
absolute priorities were selected
because they closely align with the
Administration’s priorities. Specifically,
the FY 2023 competition will focus on
improving the proper and timely
identification and recruitment of
eligible migratory children, improving
the school readiness of preschool-aged
migratory children, strengthening the
involvement of migratory parents in the
education of migratory students, and
