EDFacts is a U.S. Department of Education (ED) initiative, conducted by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES), to collect, analyze, report on, and promote the use of high-quality, prekindergarten through grade 12 (pre-K–12) performance data for use in education planning,
policymaking, and management and budget decision making to improve outcomes for students. By
centralizing data provided by state education agencies about state level data, local education agencies,
and schools, NCES uses the EDFacts data to report on students, schools, staff, services, and
education outcomes at the state, district, and school levels. The centralized approach provides ED
users with the ability to efficiently analyze and report on submitted data and has reduced the reporting
burden for state and local data producers through the use of streamlined data collection, analysis, and
reporting tools. EDFacts collects information on behalf of ED grant and program offices for
approximately 150 data groups for all 50 states, Washington DC, Puerto Rico, and seven outlying areas
and freely associated states (American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Marshall
Islands, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Republic of Palau, and the U.S. Virgin
Islands), the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), and the Bureau of Indian Education
(BIE). The request to collect EDFacts data for the 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22 school years was
approved in August 2019 (OMB# 1850-0925 v.4, with the last revision to the package (v.5) approved in
November 2019). There are three updates included in this memo: (1) Notice of waivers granted by the
data steward, the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), on the collection of 21 data
groups and two metadata surveys because of the COVID-19 crisis; (2) A request to not collect one new
data group and two associated categories; and (3) A request for four technical changes. These
changes do not change respondent burden or cost to the federal government.
