How To Report: Consolidated State Performance Report
• CSPR is a data collection instrument administered annually by ED’s Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE).
• The required measures for Title I, Part D can be found in CSPR section 2.4.
16
How To Report: EDFacts
• EDFacts is an ED initiative to collect, analyze, report on, and promote the use of high-quality performance data.
• Most of the Title I, Part D data are now reported through EDFacts.
• Eventually, all CSPR data will be reported through the EDFacts’ online Education Data Exchange Network (EDEN) Submission System (ESS).
