    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.

    Abstract: This request is for a new OMB approval to collect the 
Annual Performance Report (APR) data from Charter School Programs (CSP) 
Replication and Expansion of High-Quality Charter Schools (CMO) 
grantees. The Charter School Programs (CSP) was originally authorized 
under Title V, Part B, Subpart 1, Sections 5201 through 5211 of the 
Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, as amended by 
the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001. For fiscal year 2017 and 
thereafter, ESEA has been amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act 
(ESSA), (20 U.S.C. 7221-7221i), which reserves funds to improve 
education by supporting innovation in public education and to: (2) 
provide financial assistance for the planning, program design, and 
initial implementation of charter schools; (3) increase the number of 
high-quality charter schools available to students across the United 
States; (4) evaluate the impact of charter schools on student 
achievement, families, and communities, and share best practices 
between charter schools and other public schools; (5) encourage States 
to provide support to charter schools for facilities financing in an 
amount more nearly commensurate to the amount States typically provide 
for traditional public schools; (6) expand opportunities for children 
with disabilities, English learners, and other traditionally 
underserved students to attend charter schools and meet the challenging 
State academic standards; (7) support efforts to strengthen the charter 
school authorizing process to improve performance management, including 
transparency, oversight and monitoring (including financial audits), 
and evaluation of such schools; and (8) support quality, 
accountability, and transparency in the operational performance of all 
authorized public chartering agencies, including State educational 
agencies, local educational agencies, and other authorizing entities.
    The U.S. Department of Education (ED) is requesting authorization 
to collect data from CSP grantees within the CMO program through a new 
online platform. In 2022, ED began development of a new data collection 
system, the Charter Online Management and Performance System (COMPS),

increase validity of the overall data. This new collection consists of 
questions responsive to the actions established in the program's final

CMO program Notice Inviting Applications (NIA). This collection request 
is a consolidation of all previously established program data 
collection efforts and provides a more comprehensive representation of 
grantee performance.
