Abstract:
The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) provides $1 billion in funding to State educational agencies (SEAs) to be distributed under Title IV, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). The BSCA specifies that SEAs must make competitive subgrants to high-need local educational agencies (LEAs), as determined by the SEA, for activities to support safe and healthy students under section 4108 of the ESEA. The Department of Education has designated BSCA section 4108 funds as the Stronger Connections grant program. This is a new information collection request for the Stronger Connections grant program annual performance reporting. Under the Education Department’s General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR, Section 75.720), grantees shall submit annual performance reports. In addition, in order to receive a Stronger Connections grant award, SEAs were required to submit an assurance that the SEA will submit such other information as the Secretary may later require, such as 1) the identification of the LEAs awarded Stronger Connections grant funds, 2) how the SEA and its LEAs are using Stronger Connections grant funds, and 3) Whether the SEA will evaluate the effectiveness of the SCG program, including the effectiveness of LEA use of SCG funds and, if so, how it will do so. As part of the public comment period review, ED requests that SEAs and its other stakeholders respond to the directed questions found in Attachment A.
