Abstract: The Department is 

requesting an additional 30-day 

comment period due to the addition of 

challenges and contests to this generic 

clearance. 

Surveys to be considered under this 

generic will only include those surveys 

that improve customer service or collect 

feedback about a service provided to 

individuals or entities directly served by 

ED. The results of these customer 

surveys will help ED managers plan and 

implement program improvements and 

other customer satisfaction initiatives. 

Focus groups that will be considered 

under the generic clearance will assess 

customer satisfaction with a direct 

service or will be designed to inform a 

customer satisfaction survey ED is 

considering. Surveys that have the 

potential to influence policy will not be 

considered under this generic clearance. 

ED will also launch challenges or 

prize competitions on occasion in a 

short turnaround. The information 

collected for challenges and prize 

competitions will generally include the 

submitter’s or other contact person’s 

first and last name, organizational or 

school affiliation; email address or other 

contact information (to follow up if the 

submitted entry is selected as a finalist 

or winner); street address (to confirm

organization for eligibility purposes); 

and a video or a narrative description 

for the specific challenge or contest. ED 

may also request information indicating 

the submitter’s educational level, 

ethnicity, age range, gender, and race (to 

evaluate entrants’ diversity and 

backgrounds). Finally, ED may ask for 

additional information tailored to the 

challenge or prize competition through 

structured questions. This information 

will enable the Department to create and 

administer challenges and prize 

competitions more effectively. 

Upon entry or during the judging 

process, entrants under the age of 18 

will be asked to confirm parental 

consent, which will require them to 

obtain and provide a parent or guardian 

signature in a format outlined in the 

specific criteria of each challenge or 

prize competition to qualify for the 

contest. To protect online privacy of 

minors, birthdate may be required by 

the website host to ensure the challenge 

platform meets the requirements of all 

privacy laws.

Abstract: The American Rescue Plan 

(ARP) provides funding for 

implementing comprehensive, 

evidence-based programs to ensure 

resources respond to students’ 

academic, social, and emotional needs 

and address the disproportionate impact 

of COVID–19 on student populations. 

Using resources provided by the ARP, 

States, districts, and their partners can 

use out-of-school time (OST) to address 

the disproportionate impact of COVID– 

19 on students, families, and their 

communities. 

Out-of-school time programs, which 

occur before or after the regular school 

day or outside of the regular school 

year, can include a wide range of 

activities, including comprehensive 

afterschool or summer-learning and 

enrichment programs, vacation 

academies, work-based learning 

programs, youth development programs, 

and experiential or service-learning 

programs. 

On July 14th, 2022, the U.S. 

Department of Education, along with the 

Afterschool Alliance, AASA—the 

School Superintendents Association, 

the National Comprehensive Center at 

Westat, the National League of Cities 

and the National Summer Learning 

Association, launched the Engage Every 

Student Initiative designed to ensure 

that every student who wants a spot in 

a high-quality out-of-school time 

program has one. 

In the Fall of 2023, the U.S. 

Department of Education and the five 

partnering organizations designed the 

Engage Every Student Recognition 

Program, which aims to recognize (1) 

non-profit organizations working in 

collaboration with school district/local 

education agencies (LEAs) or (2) 

municipalities or local government 

entities working in collaboration with 

school district/local education agencies 

(LEAs) that engage K–12 students in 

high-quality afterschool or summer 

learning programming, with highquality being defined as meeting 

students’ social, emotional, mental, and 

physical health, and academic needs 

and addressing the impact of COVID–19 

on students’ opportunity to learn.
