Status: Target not met
Explanation: For FY 2002, 63 percent of eligible applicants received their payments within 60 days. Many FY 2002 payments were delayed beyond the initial 60 days of funds availability because States were slow to submit total current expenditure data needed to calculate payments. For FY 2003, the Department arranged for an alternate data collection method that will avoid this delay. |
Additional Source Information: Program office files, 2002. Frequency: Annually. Collection Period: 2002 Data Available: March 2002 Validated By: No Formal Verification. Verified by ED attestation process and ED Standards for Evaluating Program Performance Data. Improvements: In FY 2003, an alternate data collection will help avoid delays in payments. |

Status: Unable to judge
Explanation: Data are collected through a question included in the Title IX performance report. FY 2001 data collected in 2002 from a new electronic performance report have not been extracted and analyzed. The low response rate in earlier years (47% for 1998-1999 data and 21% for 1999-2000 data) prevents a meaningful measure for this indicator. |
Additional Source Information: Title IX, Part A Performance Reports. Frequency: Annually. Collection Period: 2002 Data Available: January 2002 Validated By: No Formal Verification. Verified by ED attestation. Limitations: Title IX coordinators' survey responses may not accurately reflect the quality of LEAs' parental and tribal consultation. |
