    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.
