Rating
What This Rating Means |
PERFORMING Adequate
This rating describes a program that needs to set more ambitious goals, achieve better results, improve accountability or strengthen its management practices.
- The program is well managed. The program office regularly collects timely and credible performance information, collaborates effectively with other related programs, uses strong financial management practices, and has oversight practices that provide sufficient knowledge of grantee activities.
- The Department of Education has established ambitious targets for the program's performance measures and early evidence suggests that the program is on target to meet these goals.
- The program has developed an efficiency measure to track how quickly the Department provides monitoring reports to grantees and will establish a baseline and targets for this measure in spring of 2007.
