Department enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
to be collected; and (5) how might the Department minimize the burden 
of this collection on the respondents, including through the use of 
information technology. Please note that written comments received in 
response to this notice will be considered public records.

receiving funds beyond one semester/quarter/term, and a separate 
teaching verification form to be used by students and high-need school 
districts, to document the students' compliance with the contract's
