Data Quality. States review LEAs' needs assessments when monitoring. ED asks States to submit
examples of needs assessments from their LEAs.
Explanation. The 2005 data are baseline. The median average across the States is 100%. The target
for 2006 is 100%. Data will be collected in the Consolidated State Performance Report, checked,
analyzed, and available each August.

Frequency of Data Collection. Annual
Explanation. In 2006, the program office developed and began a series of innovative, virtual monitoring
visits using videoconferencing to gather the comprehensive information needed for multiple programs at
significantly lower cost and greater efficiency than traditional on-site visits. Because 2006 was a
developmental year for virtual monitoring visits and follow-up activities, it was unrealistic to use 2006 data
to establish a baseline. Data for 2007 will be used to establish the baseline.
