Program EvaluationsPart D, Subpart 2, Section 1431(a)

• Each state agency or LEA that conducts a prevention & intervention program for children & youth who are neglected, delinquent, or at risk under Part D, subparts 1 & 2 must evaluate the program, disaggregating data on participation by sex and if feasible, by race, ethnicity and age not less than once every 3 years to determine part D’s impact on the ability of participants to:

• Maintain and improve educational achievement by using multiple and appropriate evaluation measures;

• Accrue school credits that meet state requirements for grade promotion and secondary school graduation;

• Make the transition to a regular program or the education program operated by an LEA; and

• Complete secondary school (or secondary school equivalency requirements) and obtain employment after leaving the institution.

• In conducting each evaluation, a state agency & LEA shall use multiple & appropriate measures of student progress.

Each state agency & LEA shall:

• Submit evaluation results to the state educational agency; and

• Use the results of evaluations to plan & improve subsequent programs for participating children & youth.

• Develop/Disseminate Reporting Instrument

For this purpose we have developed a reporting instrument that:

• Is accessible through the internet for online reporting

• Is available to all LEAs and institutions• Has comprehensive data management

capability• Data files are encoded and protected by

security codes to protect client confidentiality.

Reporting System –New System

• No old data has been transferred from the old system

• Old system will remain active as an archive• Each facility must report – no rolling up of data• Each person using the system is assigned a

unique username and password for each facility he/she accesses

• Username/password recovery option

Reporting System –New System

• Master users of each facility maintains users• Students are shared across the state and

entered only once into the system• Data entry in the form of a wizard

• Only required questions are asked• May not be prompted for all questions

• Automatic email capabilities• Includes “Title I Survey of Children in Local

Institutions” and reporting information

State agencies and LEAs operating Part D programs may determine the “most appropriate assessments” to reflect “the progress of those children toward meeting the State’s standards”. Gary Rutkin, Title I Report, April 2006
