Sec. 611.47  What are a scholarship recipient's reporting responsibilities upon the close of the LEA's academic year?

    (a) At the close of the LEA's academic year, a scholarship recipient 
whose LEA reports under Sec. 611.46(a) that he or she is teaching in a 
high-need school of a high-need LEA must--
    (1) Have the LEA provide information to the Department, as the 
Secretary may require, that confirms the recipient's actual employment 
status for the preceding period; or
    (2) Provide the Department--
    (i) A notarized statement that the scholarship recipient has asked 
the LEA to provide the Department the information identified in 
paragraph (a)(1) of this section, including the name and telephone 
number of the LEA official to whom the request was made; and
    (ii) A copy of the information identified in paragraph (a)(1) of 
this section that the recipient has asked the LEA to provide to the 
Department.
    (b) If the recipient provides the Department the notarized statement 
and accompanying information identified in paragraph (a)(2) of this 
section, the Department accepts the information provisionally, but the 
recipient retains an ongoing responsibility for working to have the LEA 
submit the information directly to the Department.
    (c) In subsequent school years, the recipient must have the LEA 
continue to provide information to the Department on the recipient's 
employment as

the Secretary may require, until the Department notifies the recipient 
that the service obligation has been fulfilled. The alternative 
procedures in paragraph (a)(2) of this section also apply in subsequent 
years.
    (d)(1) The Secretary provides a scholarship recipient with credit 
toward the service obligation for teaching in a high-need school of a 
high-need LEA during a summer or intersession period (for LEAs that 
operate year-round programs).
    (2) To receive this credit, the recipient must have the LEA at the 
end of the summer or intersession period provide information to the 
Department, as the Secretary may require, that confirms that the 
recipient has taught during this period in a high-need school.
