Wnited States Senate WASHINGTON, DC 20510 January 25, 2018 ‘The Honorable Betsy DeVos Secretary U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202-1510 Dear Secretary DeVos: We write to follow up with you regarding the bipartisan letter that we and 14 of our colleagues submitted in April 2017 regarding our interest in and commitment to the US. Department of Edueation’s ongoing institution-based experiment to provide access to Pell Grants for students participating in dual enrollment programs. As part of that letter, we also requested that the Department continue the experiment and determine an appropriate mechanism for evaluating this important project. A copy of the previous letter is attached. In the Department's recent announcement of its information collection activities for the experimental site, entitled “Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment Request; Experimental Sites Initiative Reporting Tool 2017,” we were disappointed to see so few questions specifically addressing the dual enrollment experiment. There is significant useful information that can be gleaned from descriptive statistics, and we encourage the Department to amend its information collection activities for the experimental site for dual enrollment to include such questions. We appreciate your consideration of this request. Sincerely, Muck. R Miner — Robeactign Mark R. Warner Rob Portman United States Senator United States Senator
