Abstract: Originally authorized under Title X, Part I, of the
Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the program was initially
administered through the U.S. Department of Education, which provided
grants directly to over 1,825 grantees. With the reauthorization of the
program under the No Child Left Behind Act, direct administration of
the program was transferred to state education agencies (SEA) to
administer their own grant competitions. Preliminary data shows that
states have awarded approximately 1,400 grants to support more than
4,700 centers in every state in the country. The purpose of the 21st
Century Community Learning Centers program (21st CCLC) program, as
reauthorized under Title IV, Part B, of the No Child Left Behind Act of
2001, 4201 et seq., (20 U.S. Code 7171 et seq.), is to provide expanded
academic enrichment opportunities for children attending low-performing
schools. To reflect the changes in the authorization and administration
of the 21st CCLC program and to comply with its reporting requirements,
the Education Department (ED) is requesting authorization for the
collection of data through Web-based, data-collection modules, the
Annual Performance Report, the Grantee Profile, the Competition
Overview, and the State Activities module, which collectively will be
housed in an application called the 21st CCLC Profile and Performance
Information Collection System (PPICS). The data will continue
[[Page 60323]]
to be used to fulfill ED's requirement under the Government Performance
and Results Act (GPRA) to report to Congress annually on the
implementation and progress of 21st CCLC projects and the use of state
administrative and technical assistance funds allocated to the states
to support the program. The data collection will also provide SEA
liaisons with needed descriptive data about their grantees and allow
SEA liaisons to conduct performance monitoring and identify areas of
needed technical assistance.
