The Department of Education is announcing a request for public comments on the extension of a currently approved information collection, titled "Migrant Student Information Exchange User Application Form." This form is used by state educational agencies to verify and authorize access to the Migrant Student Information Exchange system, which facilitates data sharing about migrant students between states. Comments are due by March 9, 2021, and aim to assess the necessity, efficiency, and burden of the information collection process. The department is particularly interested in feedback on the necessity of the collection, the accuracy of burden estimates, and ways to enhance data quality and reduce collection burdens.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Education wants to know if people have any thoughts about a form used to make sure only the right people can see and share student info from kids who move a lot. They want to make sure the form is still important and easy to use, and they want ideas on how to make it better.
