Abstract: The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as
amended, provides funds to districts to improve the quality of their
teaching and principal force and raise student achievement. These funds
are provided to districts through Title II, Part A (Improving Teacher
Quality State Grants--Subgrants to LEAs). The purpose of this survey is
for the U.S. Department of Education to have a better understanding of
how districts use these funds. The survey also collects information on
high-quality professional development in LEAs. In addition to the LEA
survey, the package also includes a short survey for State Educational
Agencies (SEA) that provides information on fiscal year allocations of
Title II, Part A funds made to the LEAs selected for participation in
the LEA survey.
This OMB clearance request is to continue these analyses using a
similar data collection instrument and sampling plan for the 2011-2012
school year and subsequent years. Minor changes to the LEA survey are
requested. No changes to the SEA survey are required.
