Data Quality. Under Perkins III, states are allowed maximum flexibility in their data collection
methodologies and procedures. This flexibility limits data comparability at the national level. The State
Administration and Accountability Group (SAAG) will conduct national and regional training institutes to
improve data collection efforts especially in the areas of special populations and minority students. SAAG
will conduct targeted individual state technical assistance to improve performance for special populations
and minority students. SAAG will collaborate with other divisions and agencies to improve the
performance of CTE students, particularly special population and minority students.
Explanation. FY 2005 performance target was exceeded. This was due to the continued technical
assistance to States during the Data Quality Institutes (DQI) hosted by OVAE.

Explanation. FY 2005 performance target was not met. This is due to a number of States having
difficulties locally. OVAE is providing technical assistance to States that did not meet their negotiated
performance targets. Additionally, States are obtaining assistance from States that have met their
negotiated performance targets. Also, two regional Data Quality Institutes (DQI) were held to provide
States with guidance and technical assistance and for states to collaborate. States were given resource
materials, websites and contact persons to assist with their data collection challenges, as well.
