Abstract: The Mathematics and Science Partnerships program is a
formula grant program to the States in which states make competitive
awards to projects. The authorizing legislation, Title II, Part B,
Section 2202(f) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965
as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, requires all
locally funded projects to report annually to the Secretary documenting
progress towards goals and objectives. The Annual Performance Report
(APR), an online reporting tool, will provide projects an opportunity
to describe partnerships, report on the impact of the projects, share
effective professional development strategies, and help ED program
officials to examine outcomes across multiple projects. The APR is a
revision of a currently OMB-approved annual performance report and
reflects program expansion and the consolidation of several monitoring
tools.
