Title of Collection: Charter School 

Facilities National Questionnaire. 

OMB Control Number: 1855–0024. 

Type of Review: An extension of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 369. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 1,107. 

Abstract: According to Part B section 

5201 of the Elementary and Secondary 

Education Act, one of the established 

purposes of the Charter Schools 

Program at the U.S. Department of 

Education (ED) is to encourage ‘‘States 

to provide support to charter schools for 

facilities financing in an amount more 

nearly commensurate to the amount the 

States have typically provided for 

traditional public schools’’. To help 

achieve this purpose, the Charter School 

Program needs reliable data to 

understand the current facilities 

landscape for charter schools. There 

have been discussions on the struggles 

of charter schools for equitable and 

adequate access to facilities and 

facilities financing, yet there were no 

official studies, reports, or analyses 

explicitly discussing the facility 

landscape of charter schools and the 

similarities and differences between 

charter school and traditional public 

school facilities. The Charter Schools 

Program, through the National Charter 

School Resource Center, administers a 

questionnaire conducted by the 

Colorado League of Charter Schools to 

gather data on charter schools facilities. 

This data helps to assess the true 

facilities challenges of the charter 

schools and what actions ED and the 

SEAs must take to better financially 

support the facilities needs of quality 

charter schools. ED would like to 

continue to use and administer this 

questionnaire in additional states and 

compile the data from all states into a 

facilities database. ED plans to conduct 

this survey in approximately three to 

four states per year, depending on the 

size of the state and local resources of 

the CSO to support the survey. This 

database will provide comprehensive 

information about the facilities for 

charter schools and the issues that 

charter schools face in trying to obtain 

adequate facilities. The League will 

produce a report and an analysis 

summarizing the findings per state.

Abstract: Pursuant to Section 106 of 

the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as 

amended, Vocational Rehabilitation 

(VR) agencies found to be out of 

compliance with federal requirements 

as a result of failing to meet established 

performance standards must develop for

it will assess its progress toward 

meeting the required minimum 

performance levels, along with 

strategies for the achievement of the 

goals. In accordance with regulations at 

34 CFR 361.89(c), RSA reviews an 

agency’s progress toward achieving the 

goals established in the PIP. For this 

purpose, it requires that the agency 

report its progress on a quarterly basis.
