| Targets and Performance Data | Assessment of Progress | Sources and Data Quality | |||||||||
|
Explanation: This indicator is a new indicator for FY 2003 and represents a new statutory requirement. ''Students remaining in their school of origin'' is an outcome indicator that demonstrates equal access and continuity of educational services. FY2002-2003 data will serve as baseline data for this indicator. (The code for setting a baseline is 999.) The performance targets for outyears are set at a 5% increase to the baseline. The validity of outyear targets will be re-examined following the determination of the baseline. |
Additional Source Information: Data will be collected through a State performance report which includes information from LEA subgrantees about homeless students in their districts aided by McKinney-Vento. Frequency: Annually. Collection Period: 2002 - 2003 Data Available: November 2003 Validated By: No Formal Verification. Limitations: Data from state assessments will be disaggregated at the LEA level and reported for schools that receive McKinney-Vento subgrants. Improvements: Data collected for 2003 will provide a baseline. After 2003, the Department will collect data annually and set targets based on the baseline. |
