Status: Unable to judge.
Analysis of data delayed. Explanation: Due to a combination of grantee and government delay in getting complete data and evaluations to the contractor (accomplished Feb. 8), OELA requested a no-cost extension to these task orders until September 30, 2002. |
Additional Source Information: SEA Biennial Report, 2001. Validated By: On-Site Monitoring By ED. Limitations: LEAs and SEAs have some latitude for interpretation of key terms. School districts often use these funds to support whatever program they have for limited English proficient students, regardless of their immigration status (1991 GAO Study). Because districts use these funds in a variety of ways, an impact evaluation is virtually impossible. Planned improvements: Continue to refine existing procedures for followup, verification, and validation. |
