Progress: This will be a new indicator based on a program priority. There is insufficient information available to pre-determine a reasonable baseline number for the first year. Consequently, actual data collected for the first year will serve as the baseline and growth based on that number will be used to establish the performance targets for succeeding years. In 2004, the number of parents of children attending schools that are notmaking adequate yearly progress reported to have received the information they need to understand their State Accountability systems and the options available to them under section 1116of the ESEA will establish the baseline for performance targets in succeeding years.

Explanation: Performance reporting requirements for the PIRC program are being revised to incorporate the collection of information needed to respond to this indicator.
