Reporting and Evaluation

EDFacts

Title I, Part D (Part D), requires State education agencies (SEAs) to annually submit information regarding the educational progress of students served with Part D funds (see Subpart 3, Section 1431(a)). The purpose of the Federal collection is to provide the U.S. Department of Education (ED) with data that demonstrate the effectiveness of Title I, Part D, educational programs relative to the opportunities students have and the progress they are making in local district schools. SEAs report these data annually through two reporting tools: Consolidated State Performance Report (CSPR) and EDFacts. The documents and links on the CSPR and EDFacts tabs are intended to assist in understanding the Federal data collection requirements and the relationship between the CSPR and EDFacts collection tools.

EDFacts
The EDFacts initiative began in 2003 to integrate the multiple data collections throughout ED into a single location. The goals of EDFacts are to promote high-quality data collection and reduce the reporting burden by streamlining data collection, analysis, and reporting. Currently, several reporting categories within the Title I, Part D, section of the CSPR can only be reported via the EDFacts file specifications.

In addition to the EDFacts information on NDTAC's Consolidated State Performance Report (CSPR) tab, the documents and links below provide information that is frequently updated by EDFacts and important for anyone involved in the Part D data collection. We recommend checking these resources regularly for updates.
