    Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education is requesting clearance 
for a revision to 1810-0618 in order to continue collecting data 
annually from school districts about how Title II, Part A funds are 
used to support authorized activities and improve equitable access to 
teachers for low-income and minority students; including professional 
development for teachers, principals, and other school leaders. The 
reporting requirements are outlined in Section 2104(b) of the 
Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as reauthorized by the 
Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA). The annual survey will 
include a state representative sample of traditional school districts, 
a nationally representative sample of charter school districts, and an 
annual request for each state to provide a list of districts that 
receive Title II, Part A funds and each district's allocated Title II, 
part A amount. The survey will be sent to district Title II, Part A 
coordinators and administered using an electronic instrument.
