Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 117 / Monday, June 17, 2024 / Notices required to annually submit federally connected student count data with the grant application for Section 7003 Payments for Federally Connected Children. Traditionally, LEAs have used paper survey forms to collect this information. However, the IAP has allowed LEAs to demonstrate that they can successfully collect this information electronically through student information systems (SIS). IAP has created a questionnaire to help LEAs and IAP determine if the electronic data collection can meet the statutory and regulatory requirements to successfully count their federally connected student counts.
