Short Statement:
This is a revision to a collection for an existing program. In the previous fiscal year (FY 2012) the Race to the Top District competition generated significant interest from school districts, as 1,225 local educational agencies were part of 372 submitted applications. In FY 2013 we expect interest to subside slightly and anticipate 300 applications. In addition, the only substantive changes to the application are the exclusion of the optional budget supplement, selection criterion (B)(5), and selection criterion (E)(4), which decreases the burden per application from 238 to 225, for a total of 67,500 burden hours. In total we expect 72 fewer applications and 21,036 less burden hours than the FY 2012 Race to the Top District competition.
