Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 40. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 320. Abstract: This request is for a new OMB approval to collect the Grant Profile data from Charter School Programs (CSP) Developer 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), (20USC 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 PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 59881 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 Developer 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), designed specifically to reduce the burden of reporting for users and increase validity of the overall data. This new collection consists of questions responsive to the actions established in the program’s final rule published in the Federal Register on July 6, 2022, as well as the Developer 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.

    Abstract: This request is for a new OMB approval to collect the 
Annual Performance Report (APR) data from Charter School Programs (CSP) 
State Entity (SE) 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), (20USC 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 SE 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), 
designed specifically to reduce the burden of reporting for users and 
increase validity of the overall data. This new collection consists of 
questions responsive to the actions established in the program's final 
rule published in the Federal Register on July 6, 2022, as well as the 
SE 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.
