Source: Annual Grantee Performance Report Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: October 2006 Data Validated By: On-Site Monitoring By ED. Explanation: No target is established for a cohort in the first year after award because grant sites will need to have operated for a minimum of 12 months in order to produce any student-mentor matches that meet the criteria established for this measure. The FY 2006 target is to establish the baseline for the 2004 cohort, and the FY 2007 target is to establish the baseline for the 2005 cohort. |

The FY 2006 target is based on a 30% decrease in the second year, and the FY 2007 target is based on a 40% decrease by the third year. The FY 2006 target is to establish a baseline for the 2005 cohort. The FY 2007 target is to establish a baseline for the 2006 cohort. |
