The Alaska Native Education program uses grantee reporting as a tool for both program evaluation and determining continuation award funding. Grantees are expected to submit annual and final reports in a timely manner. Multi-year award recipients should submit an annual performance report by the due date established by the program office for that fiscal year. Final reports are due 90 days after the end of the program period and should include the required financial information. Grants that include evaluation plans that produce reports on a quarterly, bi-annual or annual basis should submit these reports to the Program Officer assigned to that grant.

Annual Performance Report (APR) for program year 2007-2008 or FY 2007 will be due in the early spring of 2008 using the Department’s generic Annual/Final Performance Report (ED Form 524B). Grants that started in 2006 and 2007 are expected to submit an APR. Other grants that are in their final year, either as part of a no-cost extension or because their grant ending as scheduled, must submit a final report within 90 days from the end of their grant period. The ED 524B form should be used for the final report as well.

ED has developed a generic Annual/Final Performance Report (ED Form 524B). This report replaces the narrative report that was used in the past. This report is enhanced with fields to show quantitative and qualitative data. Versions of the report are available through the Department's Grant Application and Other Forms website, as well as instructions for completing the form. Any narrative information should be included in the pertinent sections of the report. Evaluation reports that are outlined in the original grant application may be submitted at any time during the grant year, but should be submitted soon after they are submitted to the grantee for review.

All grantees are expected to address the Alaska Native Education Program’s GPRA Indicators concerning student achievement, school readiness, and drop out prevention. Even if an individual grant does not specifically address these concerns, the grantee should be working with local education agencies and is expected to use available data to submit reporting information. This requirement is outlined in the Federal Register notice and application package. Evaluation plans should include these requirements, as well.

The report should be submitted on-line through the department's e-grants system and accessed through e-Reports. The forms and documents below are available to grantees to assist them in completing the annual or final performance report.
