About this Publication

It is our intended purpose to provide data collection activities that are the least burdensome, nonduplicative, and of practical utility. The department attempts to:

Simplify the reporting requirements and reporting formats;
Promote maximum coordination and efficiency of data collection activities within the department; and
Make recommendations for the consolidation of data collections to minimize duplication.

All data collections which are to be distributed to anyone outside of Wisconsin state government by or under the sponsorship of the Department of Public Instruction must be submitted for review and authorization prior to planned distribution. Authorization is the determination that sufficient justification exists in law, regulation, or program need to permit its use. Forms are updated on an ongoing basis. The following criteria are considered in authorizing data collection:

Law or regulation implies need for data collection in order to comply with a mandate, or data are necessary for managerial or legislative reporting or decision-making;
Data are not readily available from other sources within the department or from other state agencies;
The need for data as specified above outweighs the respondent burden to gather and report such data.
