Program Goal: To increase information and options for parents.
Objective 8.1 of 1: Federally funded PIRC programs provide parents of children attending schools that are not making adequate yearly progress with the information they need to understand their state accountability systems and their rights and opportunities for supplemental services and public school choice.
Indicator 8.1.1 of 1: The number of parents of children attending schools that are not making adequate yearly progress who are participating in PIRC activities designed to provide them with the information necessary to understand their state accountability systems and the rights and opportunities for supplemental services and public school choice afforded to their children under section 1116 of the ESEA.
Targets and Performance Data Assessment of Progress Sources and Data Quality
The number of parents of children attending schools that are not making adequate yearly progress and who participate in PIRC activities that receive information on their state accountability systems, rights and opportunities for supplemental services, and public school choice options.
Year Actual Performance Performance Targets
2004   999
2005   999
2006   999
2007   999


Explanation: Performance reporting requirements for the PIRC program are being revised to incorporate the collection of information needed to respond to this indicator. This was a new indicator based on a program priority for 2004. 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. The FY 2004 target is to establish a baseline. The target for FY 2005 is the baseline plus 5%. The target for FY 2006 is the baseline plus 10%. The target for FY 2007 is the baseline plus 15%.
