Description

The Department of Education is proposing a revision of a currently approved information collection request related to the Stronger Connections Grant Program. This program involves the collection of annual performance reports from State educational agencies (SEAs) that receive funding under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. The revision removes the annual reporting requirement and replaces it with a final report, reducing the reporting burden on grantees. The information collected will include identification of local educational agencies awarded funds and how the funds were used to support safe and healthy students.
