Accountability (Section 1431)
Each State agency or local education agency that conducts a program under subpart 1 or 2 shall
evaluate the program, disaggregating data on participation by gender, race, ethnicity and age, not
less than once every 3 years, to determine the program’s impact on the ability of the participants
to:





maintain and improve educational achievement;
to accrue school credits that meet State requirements for grade promotion and secondary
school graduation;
to make the transition to a regular program or other education program operated by a
local educational agency (LEA);
to complete secondary school (or secondary school equivalency requirements) and obtain
employment after leaving the correctional facility or institution for neglected and
delinquent children and youth; and
as appropriate, to participate in postsecondary education and job training programs.
Describe a plan for pre- and post-testing at the local education agency supported facilities to
establish a consistent reporting method with this year setting the baseline data and continuing for

establish a consistent reporting method. Information can be found in “A Brief Guide for
