assessments (1111(b)(3)) implemented 

in SY 07-08, and (2) more accurately 

reflect the data requirements in 

1111(h)(4)(D) and section 3121(b)(1) for 

evaluation; and (3) align Title I, Part B 

student performance measures with 

existing collections. 

Additional Information: During the 

60-day public comment period, ED 

received comments on the new and/or 

substantially revised items added to the 

CSPR for SY 2007-08 from 9 States. 

Public comments and ED’s responses 

are detailed in a supplemental 

document to the SY 2007-08 CSPR 

currently pending approval from OMB. 

In addition, during the 60-day comment 

period, 15 States submitted comments 

in response to a focused question 

intended to help the Department 

determine the viability of moving any or 

all of the CSPR questions, which were 

initially prepopulated in 2006-07 to 

exclusive population by EDFacts for 

2007-08 or 2008-09. Based on the 

responses to the focused question, along 

with ED’s review of SEA transition 

agreements, ED has determined that it 

will not move any additional items to 

full population from EDFacts for the 

CSPR SY 2007-08 collection. ED will 

work with the States over the next 

several months to determine which 

items will be fully populated by 

EDFacts for the SY 2008-09 and 

subsequent CSPR collections. The SY 

2007-08 CSPR & EDFacts Cross-walk, 

linking EDFacts data files to CSPR 

questions is included in the CSPR 

clearance package. Technical 

Amendments for SY 08-09 EDFacts Data 

Set related to the new CSPR questions 

in Section 1.4.8 on School Improvement 

Status also are included in the CSPR SY 

2007-08 clearance documents.
