Explanation: Baselines: 2003 for measures (a) and (b); 2006 for measure (c). For all 2003 baseline data, September 2003 is the end of the first performance period for Transition grantees. Under the Transition program, all participants are required to serve in high-need schools in high-need LEAs for at least three years. (ED will use the statutory definitions of high need schools and high need LEAs.) |

This system is expected to improve data quality over time but may require adjustments to the performance targets. |

Explanation: This measure applies to the Transition to Teaching Program under NCLB, which differs from the previous program and its measures. Therefore, FY 2004 data will establish the baseline. The target for FY 2005 is the baseline plus 1%. |
