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.

Educational Laboratories (RELs). The
REL program is an essential IES
investment focused on partnering with
state and local education agencies to use
evidence to improve education
outcomes by creating tangible research
products and providing engaging
learning experiences and consultation.
IES seeks to better understand how REL
partners use research evidence to
improve education outcomes and the
role of RELs in promoting URE among
partners. This study will test the
reliability and validity of new and
extant URE items in the REL context.
Specifically, the study will (1) assess
how existing items from the URE
literature perform in a REL context and
(2) assess the reliability and validity of
a small set of items from the
Stakeholder Feedback Surveys (SFS)
that are currently administered to REL
partners and used by IES to improve the
work of REL contractors, inform the REL
program as a whole, and address
internal requests such as the
Congressional Budget Justification. The
reliability and validity of the new and
existing survey items will be assessed
through two data collection activities:
an online survey administered to a set
of partnerships across RELs and followup interviews with a subset of REL
partners.
