The Credit Enhancement for Charter
School Facilities Program and its virtually identical antecedent
program, the Charter Schools Facilities Financing Demonstration
Program, authorized as part of the reauthorization of the
Elementary and Secondary Education Act, to have a statutory mandate
for an annual report (respectively, Section 5227 and Section
10227). This reporting is a requirement in order to obtain or
retain benefits according to section 5527 part b of the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act of 1965. ED will use the information
through this report to monitor and evaluate competitive grants.
These grants are made to private, non-profits; governmental
entities; and consortia of these organizations. These organizations
will use the funds to leverage private capital to help charter
schools construct, acquire, and renovate school
facilities.
Due to more applicable
grantees, there is an adjustment increase of 150 annual burden
hours.
