Progress: All performance targets were exceeded in years 2001, 2002, and 2003.

Explanation: In 2002, out of an aggregate total of 43 goals reported by 17 grantees, 18.6% (n=8) were fully met, 67.4% (n=29) were partially met, and 14% (n=6) were not met. In 2003, out of an aggregate total of 50 goals reported by 13 grantees, 52% (n=26) were fully met, 44% (n=22) were partially met, and 4% (n=2) were not met. N.B.: The actual performance measure used for 2002 and 2003 is the following: ''The percentage of measurable goals that were partially or fully met by the oldest cohort (excepting no-cost extensions) submitting a performance report in the performance year.'' Goal completion is considered partial when the grantee has made significant progress in reaching their goal without actually meeting the performance target. All National Programs discretionary grantees are required to report progress on goals and objectives in year-end performance reports.

N.B.: The actual performance measure used for 2003 is the following: ''The percentage of measurable goals that were partially or fully met by the oldest cohort (excepting no-cost extensions) submitting a performance report in the performance year.'' Goal completion is considered partial when the grantee has made significant progress in reaching its goal without actually meeting the performance target. Requirements for measuring progress toward goals and objectives have been incorporated into all applications for Safe Schools/Healthy Students Initiative grants.
