Explanation: CSR Data for 2002, 2003 was not collected. No evaluation was done, and CSR items were not included in the consolidated state report. 2004 data will be analyzed and summarized in early 2005.   		Additional Source Information: National Longitudinal Survey of Schools, 1999(baseline)/2000.

Frequency: Annually.
Collection Period: 2003 - 2004
Data Available: June 2005
Validated By: No Formal Verification.
Data collected by Westat, Inc., and validated by internal procedures.

Limitations: Data are taken from a nationally representative sample of Title I schools; no data are available on all Title I schools. Because data are based on self-reports, it is difficult to judge the extent to which reform programs are comprehensive and research-based. An examination of school documents on a subsample of Title I schools will allow some indication of the quality of comprehensive school reform efforts in Title I schools in general.
