Abstract: This request is for a new OMB approval to collect data necessary to support the following: Charter School Programs (CSP) Data Collection, Risk Assessment, and Monitoring. This collection will replace previously approved 1855-0016 collection in order to obtain a new OMB number that is associated with the sub-agency this collection has moved to following a reorganization. The collection of information is still necessary in order to perform data collection, data analysis, risk assessment, and grantee monitoring for the CSP. However, the number of respondents is expected to decrease over the life of this collection, as new grantees (from FY 2022 onward) use the Charter Online Management and Performance System (COMPS) for their reporting (OMB Control Numbers 1810-0781 through 1810-0787). This collection will remain in place for the older grantees that still have active CSP grants. This data collection is coordinated with the EDFacts Initiative (EDFacts) to reduce respondent burden and fully utilize data submitted by States and available to the U.S. Department of Education (ED) through the EDFacts database. Specifically, under the current data collection, ED collects CSP grant award information from grantees (State agencies, charter management organizations, and some schools) to create a new database of current CSP-funded charter schools and award amounts. Once complete, ED merges performance information extracted from the EDFacts database with the database of CSP-funded charter schools. Together, these data allow ED to monitor CSP grant performance and analyze data related to accountability for academic performance, financial integrity, and program effectiveness.
