Abstract: The Comprehensive Literacy State Development (CLSD) program is authorized under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA), Sections 2222-2225. The CLSD program awards competitive grants to advance literacy skills—using evidence-based practices, activities, and interventions, including preliteracy skills, reading, and writing—for children from birth through grade 12, with an emphasis on disadvantaged children, including children living in poverty, English learners, and children with disabilities. Eligible entities include the state education agencies (SEAs) of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Additionally, directed awards are made to four (4) Outlying Areas: American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. A portion of funds is also awarded directly to the Bureau of Indian Education. CLSD requires that at least 95% of funds awarded to SEAs be distributed to local education agencies through a subgrant award process. However, the current OMB-approved ED generic grant performance report does not include fields to capture program (subgrantee) demographic data or performance measures to ensure grantees are meeting statutory and regulatory requirements and making progress toward meeting the goals and objectives of their approved projects. The proposed performance report metrics reflect the need to collect pertinent grantee- and subgrantee-level data that could be used to guide future program policy and practice and respond to stakeholder, congressional, and agency inquiries. Thus, the CLSD program staff would better understand whom they serve, programmatic needs, strategies to meet those needs, and how collecting program-level data would benefit the students and support their learning. The new CLSD performance report metrics would (a) collect programmatic data that demonstrate aggregate program-level impact; (b) provide subgrantees’ aggregated data, such as the number of students and professionals served, how funds have been used (e.g., professional learning, curricular materials), and staffing; and (c) provide the CLSD program staff the data to report the performance and outcomes of the CLSD program, at both the grantee and the subgrantee levels. These new measures also would help to add specificity to ED’s monitoring efforts.
