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 HighQuality Charter Schools (CMO) grantees.

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 PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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.

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 CMO program Notice Inviting Applications (NIA).

    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), (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 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),

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.
