Minutes - State Reporting Focus Group Meeting, October 13th, 2006

We had some great discussions on a number of critical issues related to student enrollment, summer withdrawals, graduation and dropout and the implications for State assessment, accountability, program management, State educational aid and federal funding. We also reviewed the State's new eSnacs system and how it works with the State's quarterly enrollment reporting system to collect more consistent and reliable data on student's lunch eligibility. We also briefly reviewed some key educational statistics on student membership, program participation, attendance, graduation and dropout and how they are used in our accountability and educational aid systems.
