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.
