Funding(MIS View)
•In Florida, the Title I, Part D Annual count is collected during Survey 9 of the year prior to funding. Processing is from November through January and the final counts are usually due to the USED by the third week in January.
•During processing the counts for each district are calculated three times for data verification and one final time.
Funding(Data Quality)
•Correctly identify the LEA’s delinquent, residential facilities.
•More students means more money. Establish the most advantageous counting window for each facility.
•The window does not have to be the same throughout the district.
•Count accurately•Annual counts usually exceed facility capacities. •Students do not have to be enrolled in school in order to be counted.
•Check your counts•The counts are processed three times before we submit them to the USED.
•The United States Department of Education collects program performance data on all of the Neglected, Delinquent and At-risk programs supported by Title I, Part D. Continued federal funding for these programs is contingent upon demonstrating student progress in academic, vocation and transitional outcomes.
Accountability
•Currently, on the state level, specific outcome information such as pre- and post-test scores, credit retrieval and vocational program participation is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of Title I, Part D dollars.
