Instructional Guide to Reporting Title I, Part D Data in the Consolidated State Performance Report—School Year 2004-2005

This year marks the first year a full-scale data collection effort will be conducted for Title I, Part D programs. The Consolidated State Performance Report (CSPR) forms for the 2004–2005 school year used for reporting Title I, Part D data will request information about the numbers of facilities and programs that exist, academic and vocational outcomes, and academic achievement.

As highlighted in A Word From the Director, reporting these data for N or D programs is a great step for the field. The collection of these data will allow the U.S. Department of Education to demonstrate the strides made by students in N or D programs and can provide further support for funding needs. Additionally, States and facilities can benefit by using these data to help identify program successes and areas for improvement.

Guide to Reporting Title I, Part D Data (PDF)

In response to the many questions NDTAC has received from the field over the past year, NDTAC has developed a document titled NDTAC Instructional Guide to Reporting Title I, Part D Data (PDF). The purpose of this guide is to provide States greater assistance in interpreting and navigating the new reporting requirements. The guide provides definitions of reporting language and detailed instructions for the types of information required. NDTAC will also be providing ongoing technical assistance during the months of March and April 2006 on reporting.

Please note that this document was developed solely by NDTAC and should not be interpreted as a Federal guidance document, nor should it supersede or be used to replace any State reporting requirements.

Data for the 2004–2005 school year will be reported electronically using the EDEN system. State CSPR and EDEN coordinators will be granted access to log on to the system. View the instructions for completing the electronic transmission process. Reporting deadlines are as follows:

• CSPR Part I: March 6, 2006
• CSPR Part II (including Title I, Part D): April 14, 2006

State agencies and local education agencies should contact their State N or D coordinator with questions about reporting requirements. Information on how to contact your N or D coordinator can be found on your State’s page on the NDTAC Web site. States may also contact NDTAC at NDTAC@air.org, with any additional questions about reporting requirements for N or D programs.
