§ 300.602 State use of targets and reporting.

Plain English summary

This section requires each State to use its performance plan targets to analyze LEA performance and report publicly on each LEA's performance no later than 120 days after submitting its annual performance report to the Secretary. States must also report annually to the Secretary on statewide performance and must protect personally identifiable information and statistically unreliable data from public or Secretary disclosure.

Key requirements

• Each State must use the targets established in the State's performance plan under § 300.601 and the priority areas described in § 300.600(d) to analyze the performance of each LEA.
• The State must report annually to the public on the performance of each LEA located in the State on the targets in the State's performance plan as soon as practicable but no later than 120 days following the State's submission of its annual performance report to the Secretary.
• The State must make available through public means: the State's performance plan, annual performance reports, and the State's annual reports on the performance of each LEA, including at a minimum posting on the SEA's Web site and distributing to the media and through public agencies.
• If the State collects performance data through State monitoring or sampling, the State must include in its report the most recently available performance data on each LEA, and the date the data were obtained.
• The State must report annually to the Secretary on the performance of the State under the State's performance plan.
